We would like to thank Mr. Kaye and Mr. Waits for their tremendous contributions to help raise awareness of hunger in America.

Topics covered in this video:
Business communications, influence, community service, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce

Transcript:
Very helpful. It certainly has been for me. Any of those service organizations will give you a chance to meet some of the movers and shakers of your community. And while just belonging to the organizations and maybe attending a meeting or two won’t bring a lot of business to you, what it will do is give some of the influential people of the community an opportunity to get to know you and to realize that you have certain abilities. So that when they need something that your business provides they automatically think of you. And it is just a very good way to get very active in your community and for people to get to know you.
