Check this link out.  Allegheny County Library Association (ACLA) picked 29 Gifts for One Book One Community.  All the libraries county wide have copies of the book and CD book.

Josh,  I have just come to this movement and I am on Day Five.  If you are still looking for a way to disseminate information about this effort, have you tried contacting the on-line weekly, Pop City?  This is a very upbeat weekly and they have a For Good section.  Just a thought.

Hi Josh. I'm currently living in south Florida but the Burg is my home.
I have a lot of family and friends there and get back as often as I can. This is a perfect organization for this city for the people are always so giving.

Hi Lori. No, no get togethers. I am not so swell at staying up on blogging and such. I do business with people in Elwood City. Hall Industries, Jet Industries, and Industrial Equipment Fabricators... Welcome!

Hey guys! Man, seems to me there should be more Pittsburgh members. The Trib review was the first major newspaper to do an article on 29gifts -- and it was on the front page at that. However, looks like few people read the trib review cause had they, I am SURE they would have joined.

That said, I still have plenty of 29gifts "business cards" to get out to local, open minded businesses. Many of the places I have approached put a stack of cards right next to the cash register so the cards are highly visible.

I could use some help and will be GLAD to slap a pile of cards on you. Otherwise, I will keep plodding along. I am refocusing after getting my own business on its feet. However -- help would be appreciated.

Oh, and if a place is NOT interested in having the cards (like Starbucks), I boycott them and sell their stock. Heh heh.

hey guys!

I recently received 3000 cards from Cami -- kinda sorta 29gifts.org business cards. My goal is to get them in coffee shops throughout the Pittsburgh area. I suuuure could use some help. Any takers? Leave me a message and I will give ya my # and perhaps we can really spread the great message of this organization throughout the area.

I think Pittsburgh will really show up. I have a meeting with a non-profit in the area this coming week -- Gtechstrategies.com --- and I am sure they will support this site. I think this is one of the best ideas... EVER!

hey all - I am from the Saltsburg area - I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area! I just joined the 29 days and for my first give, instead of mailing my netflix back I let a co-worker take them home for the weekend.
