[Fredslist] come to Princeton on Friday, May 20, "Good Citizenship, Good Business"

[Karen Nathan]

Gotham please mark your calendars and ride the circuit for lunch with  
us on Friday. May 20.

We are kicking off to our annual Summer of Giving campaign!  With that  
in mind, we are proud to offer an important topic of discussion: "Good  
Citizenship – Good Business."  Please joins us for our next lunch to  
understand why service and engagement in your community can benefit  
your business.

We will be meeting on Friday, May 20, 12:30-2 PM at Medittera in  
downtown Princeton.   Please let us know if you need a ride from the  
train station.

More about Good Citizenship-Good Business: There is increasing  
evidence that being a good citizen is important to companies  
irrespective of size.  The companies that have been the most effective  
have thought strategically about what it means to be engaged in the  
community. They have chosen wisely when making commitments and they  
have looked for causes or passions that have alignment with their  
business. Many companies who are interested in giving back to the  
community see a secondary result from their effort. Their efforts also  
help their own employees build skills or work across units in  team  
building efforts. The result is a win- win both for the companies who  
saw a positive affect for their business and for the nonprofits that   
benefited from the help of the businesses.

More about Volunteer Connect: At VolunteerConnect we have been looking  
at how to best impact volunteerism and service for residents of this  
area. Last year we put together the Business and Community Connection,  
a business networking group, to help build strong communities and  
stronger businesses through employee volunteerism. Businesses told us  
that they were looking for an opportunity to share best practices with  
other companies that had successful civic engagement efforts.

More about our speaker: Robin Fogel is the board chair of Volunteer  
Connect, whose mission is to enrich the lives of Central New Jersey  
residents by promoting effective volunteerism and service.
