1. Celebrity Doodles
==================================
Betty White drew a picture of her fluffy dog.
Sarah Jessica Parker doodled an 8 x 10 picture of herself.
Roseanna Arquette send a “three pack” of doodles, which were
nicely framed and placed on the auction block.
For five years, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has relied on
celebrity doodles to raise money and drum up publicity.
Watch the video at my blog where Becky Gomes, a member of the
board of directors, shows you the doodles that have attracted the
most attention and money. http://publicityhound.net/?p=11227
It’s a fund-raiser almost any group can duplicate.

2. Win a Facebook Makeover
================================
I sent you a heads-up email earlier in the week to let you know
about the free webinar that Mari Smith is hosting on “10
Essential Money-Making Facebook Techie Tips” at 3 p.m. Eastern
Time on Thursday, May 15.
In conjunction with the webinar, she’s sponsoring “The Great
Facebook Timeline Cover Image Contest.” Upload a Timeline cover
image from either your personal profile or, ideally, from your
fan page.
Anyone can vote for their favorite entry. The winner, chosen from
the top 10 entries with the most votes, will receive a Facebook
Marketing Makeover worth $1,000.
Read all about the contest, and then sign up for Tuesday’s free
webinar at the bottom of the page at
