Community Event

[Steve Peace]

Although this is slightly off-topic, I thought the project was compelling
enough, in its potential to demonstrate the positive aspects of online
community building, to merit the posting.

I wanted to let you know about Virtual Stand for Children, a non-profit web
event to showcase children's advocacy issues.  Its intent is to let people
in the community know what they can do to make a positive impact on
children's lives.  One of the ways you can support this event, and children
in your community, is to place a button or banner on your site, between May
23 and June 7.   Some of the web sites that have already agreed to feature
our banners are Yahoo!, WebCrawler, The Discovery Channel and Parent Soup.
I've included some information that should walk you through what the event
is all about.  Thanks in advance for your support.
