Let's have an old fashioned "barn-raising" to rebuild Vincent!

I have an idea on how to raise money quickly for Vincent. It requires 40 golfers who will work together to raise support for themselves to play in a golf marathon. I already have it all set up and we can do this together. We actually could pull this off in a very short time.

When I first told Vincent about the concept he was ecstatic. This was at the end of April. I knew that financially he was struggling at that time but he made it through the end of the month and into May.

We all love Vincent for who he is and how much his encouragement has touched our lives. The outpouring of concern today following his letter is a huge example of how much everyone here cares about Vincent.

On Monday night when I talked to Vincent, I suggested launching the golf tournament to raise funds. I asked Vincent how he felt $75,000 more or less would affect what he was doing in building his network. He said it would certainly help.

I know someone this last week responded to the flurry of Linkedin problems with a question to Vincent about him starting his own network. Vincent replied that if he had a couple of million $$$ he might just do that.

On Monday, I told Vincent that I felt it was perfect timing to let all of us who had been supported through the years by him and his ENCOURAGEMENT now support him and everyone could be part of that support in having the fundraising golf tournament to secure funds for him and his plan to build the network.

He asked that I send him something in writing so that he could read it. He also said that he had an excruciating headache and was going on to bed. We were to talk again on Tuesday night. That never happened. The phone calls and emails that I sent have gone unanswered.

I understand now why they were unanswered. In order to have this golf tournament it would have meant that he was saying he needed help and that was very hard for him to admit.

Will you help with this fundraising? Let's call it an old fashioned "BARN-RAISING" so that we can rebuild Vincent! This was done in all the olden days when a family lost their home to a fire. Vincent has lost not only his home to this fire; he has lost much more than that. Vincent lost his self-respect, his zest for life, his family ties that he cherished so dearly and most of all his feeling that he could create a livelihood for himself. We can join together to rebuild not only his home (a place to live) but also to rebuild the valuable respect he needs by knowing that without his asking for help … we wanted to help him.

Please contact me ASAP if you will be part of this project.

Thank you, Margaret, Jason, and all of the rest of you who today intervened in this crisis.

With much love and concern for my friend,

Strategic Human Resource Management - "Linking People to Your Plan"
Today, the Human Resources Management profession is not what you might think it is. No more is the Personnel Department of thirty years ago. Gone are the file clerks. They've been replaced by Human Resource Information Systems. Today, great HR is about optimizing your people and people related processes to help meet your business objectives, helping your company become an employer of choice, overcoming recruiting and retention obstacles and more. It is about being a Strategic Business Partner; not just achieving legal compliance, but thriving on it. It is about knowing your business and driving cultural change, knowing your needs and managing performance, and it is certainly about transformational leadership and developing a plan for success through the right people and right actions.
Jay C. Langdon, SPHR is a Strategic HR Practitioner and wants you to be one too. Simply put, he helps organizations use people to their best ability to accomplish business objectives. Jay says, he "helps businesses do better, however they define better." Depending upon your specific needs this can mean different things: From large scale downsizing and layoffs or restructuring, to a recruiting and staffing blitz, from very fine tuned adjustments in your Total Rewards Plans, to major redesigns of Employment Branding and Organizational Development.
Our focus is on long term planning and immediate actions that "Set you up for success". We utilize a vast network of resources, people and technology to calibrate HR activities to your strategic initiatives then "Link People to Your Plan". Some folks need a boot out the door, others need a handshake. We deal with perception and upset and turn it into improved business performance.

Please RSVP for this event by emailing ief@amit-az.net
