Exercise 50

Each year your company organizes a team to participate in your city's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, one of a series of walks sponsored by the American Cancer Society. This year you are the coordinator of your company's team. Your first task is to invite all employees to an informational meeting. Send a message to everyone in the company regarding the meeting and include an agenda for the meeting. A little research on the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer website will help you decide what to include in your message. Of course you want your message to start generating enthusiasm for the cause right away-but be sure you make clear that coming to the meeting won't obligate anyone to participate in the walk. You just want to spread the word about it and be sure that anyone looking for a worthy cause to support (and an inspiring team experience) knows about this opportunity. Those who want to be on the team can sign up at the end of the meeting or let you know by August 3.
