In an effort to promote team spirit and the opportunity to get to know each other when we’re not working in a volunteer capacity, the NABS west ambassadors got together last night to bowl a few frames at the Commodore lanes. I especially appreciated it since my hearing disability makes it difficult for me to be overly social in loud situations. Also, most people will repeat something 2 times before getting upset. Add alcohol to the mix and most people won’t repeat themselves more than twice. It was good to see everyone out and I’m glad that bowling was picked. I find it’s a great equalizer as no one looks particularly sexy in those shoes and there is only so much style you can use when you’re throwing a heavy ball down a polished wooden lane.

I am inspired to try and come up with a good idea for fundraising this holiday season. If last year is any indication, it’s likely that companies will still be a little shy about corporate giving or benevolent contributions. I am pretty versed at food and clothing drives and I personally give to the David Suzuki Foundation every year for my holiday gifts, but I would like to try and help NABS this holiday as I know that many people lost their jobs this year. I am really trying to come up with something innovative and exciting to get the industry involved, so if you have any ideas on how to fundraise for the National Advertising Benevolent Society I would welcome your comments.
