CoolPeopleCare.org Announces 40 Days of Events to Get People Out of Their Homes and Into Their Local Communities to Make a Difference FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Springamajig 2008 CoolPeopleCare.org Announces 40 Days of Events to Get People Out of Their Homes and Into Their Local Communities to Make a Difference NASHVILLE, Tennessee (March 12, 2008) - CoolPeopleCare.org's first annual Springamajig will highlight 40 days of events in Nashville and around the Southeast that show people how to get more involved in their local community. Springamajig begins on Saturday, March 22 and runs until April 30. "Spring is the perfect time to get out of our house and enjoy the nice weather. And, if you can make a difference while you're at it, everyone's better for it," says Sam Davidson, President and co-founder of CoolPeopleCare, Inc. "These 40 days of events are designed to breathe new life and ideas into all of us who want to make a difference." Events range from local festivals and hikes, to movie premiers and lectures. Featured events encourage people to come together for a worthy cause, to meet new people and to learn about how to positively impact the environment. Events are still being considered for inclusion. CoolPeopleCare is also partnering with local organizations like Team Green to raise awareness of environmental issues. "Partnering with CoolPeopleCare allows us to show all of Nashville just how easy it is to make a difference and help improve the planet," says Laurel Creech, Team Green's director. CoolPeopleCare and Team Green will host an event together on April 29. Key Springamajig events include an informational session at Moore & Moore Garden Center, Nashville's Earth Day and a signing of Davidson's first book, "New Day Revolution: How to Save the World in 24 Hours" at Davis-Kidd. Published by Brentwood-based Xyzzy Press, Davidson and CoolPeopleCare, Inc. co-founder Stephen Moseley released the book in November 2007. Springamajig will conclude on April 30, which is being designated as CoolPeople CarPool Day. On that day, people are encouraged to commit to carpooling to work, lunch, or anywhere else they may go. “Riding with a friend is one small step we can all take to make this world a better place,” says Davidson.

CommentsDorothy commented, on April 23, 2008 at 7:01 a.m.: One small thing I do a lot, though maybe not everyday, is I make special cards on my computer (I'm told they are beautiful) for my elderly neighbors for Birthdays, Holidays and sometimes just for no reason at all. Then I tape it to their doors (usually at night) so that when they open the door in the morning they have a nice little surprise waiting there to make them feel someone cares about them. I just gave my neighbor a specially designed card this morning for his 85th birthday. When I've given him cards at other times, he calls me and I can hear the tears in his voice because he is so happy someone remembered him. It doesn't cost a lot to do (just some card stock and ink), but it makes folks feel special because I always put their name on the front of the card and then write something specific to them inside. I've been doing this for the past 11 years, even when I lived in a different community in NJ. Now I live in Florida and have many more elderly neighbors. It makes me feel good to make them feel good.
