Tommy talks openly to the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce and how we can take their organization to 2010 and beyond. The chamber really need to focus on the building of new members. Now all members can be million dollar companies. its great to see the ones that are, but what about the little guys? For the chamber to move forward, it needs to reinvent itself and retool for the future. it needs to think outside the box and spread its offerings to those business who can not afford the chambers services, in the present form.

I want to help the chamber grow. I want to help drive more business and help others… put me to work!!

Tommy talks to all the cowardly people in the newspapers who hide behind their avatars and leave vile and venom filled comments regarding the Arboleda family who was selected as an Extreme Makeover Home edition recipient. These comments are just terrible. From wanting to know what they did to deserve this to pointing fingers at how big their family is and it’s their fault for having so many kids to why not spend the money on other more deserving families. One person even said “he has a masters why not get a better job?” Is this really what this is all about? NO!!! It’s about making a dream come true. It’s about the community and coming together. How amazing is this for the people and town of Neenah. The exposure is wonderful and the good will, over the top awesome! Why can’t we all just be thankful for this family? Why can’t we all just love serving and helping others in need? Why must we cut down the process and chastise the family?
Can’t we just be happy for them? Remember kids… if life was fair, none of us would be there. Never forget that.

Today is Mashables Social media day. We are planning a huge get together at Waverly beech at the tiki bar in back. Its always great to get together with good friends and just talk turkey. LOVE IT!
