TheAdsOnUs fighting for a cure to save lives and breasts

So you already know that I love causes and have named myself the Volunteer Magnet. It is what it is. Giving back and supporting causes are so much of who I am that this year when Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (NJ) asked me and my organization, MI to staff their ShopRite Tent for the fourth year in a row I could not say NO! Well I could have but why would I? I am still on this earth and I have both of my breasts. I am fortunate and blessed that breast cancer has not been a part of my immediate family and I thank God for it.  I want to celebrate the survivors and remember the people that had not won their battle.

Normally, I rally up the organization and pull in my friends to help prep and replenish the food table so that when the racers, walkers, workers and spectators need to re energize the food is readily available. Like I said, they called us back. I have a great team. YAY!

This year on May 15 TheAdsOnUs is going PINK and I will wear 2 hats. I'm going to the event early to prep and organize the food and volunteers then I will put on the new PINK TheAdsOnUs T-Shirt and walk for a cure. I'm so excited because I am doing MORE. I am raising money. I don't know why I hadn't done it in the past? I guess it just never came to me. To help raise funds I am selling ad space on the back of the T-Shirt. Wouldn't it be great to have YOUR logo the new Pink TheAdsOnUs T-shirt? Yup, it would. I will post pictures when I cross the finishline!

Here are 4 Breast Self-Awareness items you should know. (info taken from Komen site)
1) Know your risk
2) Get screened
3) Know whats normal for you
4) Make healthy lifestyle choices

Rain, Rain go away... There is gold at the end.

This Saturday the weather was just not cooperating according to my plan. My TO-DO list was so long and most of my errands required me to be outdoors. I had already made up my mind to just stay in to watch a movie and eat snacks. I know; not a good combination when there is so much to do. I had to pick up films, attend a meeting for MFKB breakfast that TheAdsOnUs is sponsoring, go to the library, fill up my tank and attend a launch in New York. Those were the big items. I was able to get through most of the list in the rain and said if it does not stop raining I will not attend the evening launch that I had already paid for.

God heard my prayer and the rain stopped! Yes, he is awesome. I am so happy that I attended the SheRo launch. There were so many fabulous women entrepreneurs in attendance. All coming together to show support for the event but also to network! It was great. The night concluded with several raffle prizes. I purchased the first two tickets and BOTH tickets won. (I was the only repeat winner). Just because things don't always go according to your plan, never fear because what is for you is only for YOU.




Here is the funny for the night - one of the prizes that I won was a T-SHIRT. Gotta love it! The other was a great pair of earrings made by My Finds Boutique.

So close... setting the bar higher

I have many Facebook friends under my personal account and several Twitter followers for the business.  I just love social media with the friending and the following. I recently launched TheAdsOnUs Fan Page. YAY for me. Its been fun to interact with all the other Fan Pages out there and 'like' them too.
As I was 'like-ing' other pages I said heyyyyy let me see how many likes I can reach in a week.
The challenge was set. I was on a mission to reach 100 likes in four (4) days. That is doable. If only 10% of my personal friends hit like I had it made...

TheAdsOnUs.com

Page · 79 people like this.

As you can see I came so close to reaching my goal of 100. Next week I will work twice as hard and raise my goal. Just because I didn't reach it this time does not give me an opportunity to stop striving!

By the way.... stop by TheAdsOnUs Fan Page and 'Like' us. We will 'Like' you back.

TAOU for now,

Going to a play

I received a text message that put a smile on my face. 

It read "Good Morning Lady! Okay, it's been too long, it's time for us to do lunch, dinner, see a movie, have a coffee, you get the picture, lol... let's pick a date"! I responded with I agree and attached the date.  YAY!

I had the best time having lunch and talking with author Karoline Bethea-Jones. Karoline and I have known each other for a few years through our volunteer efforts with MI, Inc. which developed into a friendship. That's real networking... building lasting relationships. We chatted before our food came, during and long after we paid the bill. The waiter and other customers were giving us the eye. (smile). 

Here we are and yes, I had on TheAdsOnUs Tee!

Renee with Karoline Bethea-Jones

I am elated to tell you that Karoline has written and produced her first staged play: Women on the Edge. It will debut Friday, May 20th. For Tickets visit her site. I will be there and I'm bringing a few friends too.

TAOU for now,

PS - Wouldn't it be nice if you could extend your day in the city to a long weekend getaway? I know just the person who could make that happen. Ty to the rescue.

You do what for a living?

When paying the bills most folks will take a job that will do just that - PAY THE BILLS. Just for a moment think back to all the cool jobs you thought you would have? For example, I have a friend that once wanted to play video games all day and get paid. That is a cool job, but I think I have one of the coolest jobs on the planet. I am a T-shirt wearer!

You do what?

I wear T-shirts to promote and advertise for a company or an individual while connecting with friends and potential customers using social media.

Your, Mine and Ours Fashions

Want me to wear your T-shirt?
Here’s what you do: Pick a day(s) on the TAOU calendar, mail your T-shirt along with any promotional items, discounts, coupons, samples etc if you wish, email your logo to be posted on TheAdsOnUs.com  website and on your day I will wear your Tee and post pictures to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and YouTube.

Setting records with T-shirts

I love wearing T-shirts. It's an easy and fun way to advertise hands down. But did you know you can break records wearing T-shirts? Have you ever wondered how many T-shirts you could wear at one time? Well I have. Just have not tried it yet. I wondered how many would be needed, what range in sizes and how long it would take. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it. For now, I will wear one at a time. But one day......(I'm dreaming)!

Check out this video to see how many T-shirts were needed to break the record back in 2006.

Dressing up a Tee

I recently attended a networking event with a few friends. Thanks for the invite! The ladies informed me that the dress was business attire. I'm in the T-shirt wearing business and I wanted to wear TheAdsOnUs.com Tee so that I could show off and advertise what I DO. I WEAR T-SHIRTS!

How was I going to dress up a tee??? I got it. Accessories!

I put on a brown business suit, TheAdsOnUs T-shirt, a big gold necklace, gold bracelet a BIG smile and kept it moving.

Guests showed up as expected in after work attire consisting of  business suites, dress shirts, suit jackets and ties and I fit right in! I did not get the side-eye stare at all. Whew. 

Whatever the occasion, TheAdsOnUs.com can wear YOUR tee to advertise and promote for YOU.

Until next time
