(3.) Did you see “Evan Almighty” over the weekend? If so, you’ll be especially interested in this new Gather contest. It’s called “Go Zero, Go Green” and focuses on the environmentally-friendly theme of the film. To enter, just answer this question: "If you had the chance to go anywhere in the world to plant a tree to help the environment, where would you plant it, and why?" Get all the details on this contest and more by visiting the Evan Almighty group at evanalmighty.gather.com

Writing TJ is always in the eyes of the beholder. What one finds good, another finds boring, while one who finds a piece written poorly, others may find it to be wonderful.
Faith... great and accurate observation on your part! Gather is now including a link to the TODAY group with some of its marketing efforts. We believe the info shared here in this group is a great way to introduce new members to some of the exciting programs happening on Gather each and every day. As you noticed, this is a very new effort... so the numbers really took a spike this weekend! I hope the info shared here will help new and old members connect with great people, content and experiences they might otherwise have missed.
