“We went to see the ocean, and that is probably the best place of all our coast to go to. If you go by water, you may experience what it is to leave and to approach these shores; you may see the stormy petrel by the way, thalassodroma, running over the sea, and if the weather is but a little thick, may lose sight of the land in mid-passage. I do not know where there is another beach in the Atlantic States, attached to the mainland, so long, and at the same time so straight, and completely uninterrupted by creeks or coves or fresh-water rivers and marshes.”

~ Henry David Thoreau on Cape Cod

*** Causing a stir:

Through my colleague Gregg Shields in Dallas comes this appeal for assistance that I think we all can support. Tom Clementson is a senior advisor for public affairs at the ISAF Joint Command in Afghanistan. Like any red-blooded American, he likes his coffee. But due to the remote location, Tom and his colleagues find it hard to find powdered creamer for their coffee. He reports:

It's less of a necessity than a true comfort item but any flavored creamers of the powdered variety. We have the basics here but unlike most of the larger U.S. bases, our NATO base is very Euro. Again, thanks so much. Address is below.

V/R,

Tom

Tom Clementson

APO AE 09320

So, I am asking my fellow “nedworkers” to to grab some non-dairy powdered coffee creamer and package it for shipment to Tom at the above address.

If you don't have any coffee creamer handy, because you are like me and take your Navy coffee straight, then Tom says: “The team will be thrilled and even if people just want to drop a postcard to The IJC Public Affairs Team. We'd be very happy with that.”

Please pass this on to your fellow communication professionals.

Ned Lundquist, ABC

Publisher – JOTW

*** Mike Zimet requests clarification:

Hey Ned…

Our troops deserve the best, even comfort items. But it's not clear from his email — is Gregg looking only for “flavored” creamers or will “regular” do? Let me know — I'll run to Costco and pick up some.

Sipping a midnight cup of powdered creamer and powdered sweetener in my powdered coffee made with powdered water,**

Mike.

**wait a minute, if you want to reconstitute powdered water, what do you mix it with? (best answer wins a bottle of reconstituted powdered water)

(First of all, it's for Tom and his folks…not Gregg who passed the message to me. In turn, I forwarded your comment to Tom on Facebook for clarification.)

Mike: Here’s Tom’s reply:

Flavored is best Ned. We've been able to squeeze AAFES to get some regular in here. As to the other question…I'd suggest mixing it with liquid air.

*** From my “running mate” Mike Smith:

Have sent mine!

MPS

*** From Shannon Reilly:

Awesome idea to send out this address. I'll be making a good shipment!!!

Shannon

*** From Susan Burnell, APR:

Great cause, Ned, and an easy one to support. A box of powdered creamer

packets will be on its way this week (Sam's Club sells boxes of 1000).

Cheers,

Susan

Ned

*** From Angela Lapre:

Hi Ned –

This is great, thank you. Assuming Tom will get loads of creamer from this email :), are there any other items he and his team would also like?

Many thanks,

Angela

*** From Ken O’Quinn:

Ned,

Can you clarify the address. It appears to need elaboration before it will

look valid to a postal worker, but maybe I am missing something.

Tom Clementson

(That will work. APO means “Army Post Office.”)

*** From Cinda Adams Gaskin:

Hi Ned:

I'm happy to send some non-dairy creamer to our troops. There's a Dollar Store in my neighborhood that has the flavored varieties (for a dollar!).

I'll jump right on this detail. It's the least I can do.

Thanks,

Cinda Adams Gaskin

*** From Elizabeth Corse:

Ned, can they not take liquid creamer in sealed, individual serve packets?

Also, would flavored coffee grounds be of any use?

Elizabeth Corse

*** A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

Thank you for your overwhelming response to our appeal to the JOTW network. We have helped some service men and women in Afghanistan, and that's a wonderful thing. The power of this network has inspired a follow-up challenge and appeal.

– Here's the response I received from Tom Clementson:

Ned,

This thing has really gone viral. I'm more than confident we'll have coffee creamer for a good while but it had me thinking that we might be able to make a real difference beyond comfort items for my team here. We're currently working with U.K. Soldiers here to help an orphange here in Kabul. I'd like to see where they're short in terms of school supplies and toys. Is this an effort that you would help us support? In the grand scheme it just seems petty to ask for something so small for comfort when we can really make an impact on young lives.

Tom

– Ned replies:

I like the idea…So will my network. Any instructions on what you need, want, how it should be packed, marked, etc?

Tom answers:

Ned,

Talked to Sgt. Jonny Howells (U.K. Army) about what they need. Right now the team is supporting two orphanages and a school here in Kabul and the best we can do for these kids is pull together clothing, school supplies and toys. A few specifics would include: Soccer balls and simple toys, legal pads / note pads, pens, rulers, crayons – coloring books, baby clothes, t-shirts for kids up to 14yrs…The Brits have done a great job supporting local kids here in Kabul and all in their off time. A few of us newly arrived from the U.S. side decided to join the effort since we're all mostly over the 1776 / 1812 business.

Anyway, really appreciate any of the help you might be able to provide in getting the word out. We don't require a lot from any one person but a little from each goes a long way in helping some kids in Kabul.

We'll try to get you some pictures next time we're out on a visit.

Tom

– Ned's challenge to the JOTW network:

Please see if you can support this appeal. Send the above requested supplies to:

Tom Clementson

KAIA Attn: IJC PAO

APO AE 09320

*** From Jim Brooks:

Ned-

My personal experience with something like this (my niece is a Peace Corps worker in Africa), the requestor should make a very specific request as to what they want. “Toys” is too generic. Would toy guns be welcomed? (They weren't in Africa). Likewise, school supplies should be specific. The more specific the better.

Not sure of the legalities but the could partner with a non profit like Rotary International but CASH works best. Supplies are bought directly from in the country and the benefits multiply throughout the country. This is most evident in Haiti (I've done work with Rotary International there).

Jim

(Ned replies: Agreed. We're dealing with some military folks supporting an orphanage/school on their own, not a big NGO effort. So, if it was you over there, what would you want to get so that you could bring it to the school?)

*** From Laura Lueder:

Ned,

Do you know if the clothes and toys need to be new, or can they be

gently used hand-me-downs from our kids?

Laura Lueder

– Tom replies:

Ned,

Gently used is fine. At this point the kids will appreciate the

functionality more than the look. Very good question though.

V/R,

Tom Clementson

*** From Rebecca Mikkelsen, APR:

Good Morning Ned:

Thank you for this opportunity to help our service men and women in

Afghanistan. I'm mailing a box of flavored coffee creamer today and will

follow up with school supplies.

Ned, I admire how you help so many people and make such a difference in so

many lives.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Mikkelsen

*** From Greg Friedmann:

Hi Ed,

Great effort & use of the JOTW network! One thing we learned in sponsoring a child in Haiti is that things like coloring books are best kept to very simple topics– not inadvertently showing a lot of Western opulence that Kabul kids might resent.

i.e., Barbie comics with all of her cars, clothes, mansions, etc.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Greg Friedmann

Ned,

We're in! My 9 year-old daughter and her friends have taken this on as a special project. What a wonderful opportunity to have our leaders of tomorrow experience first-hand how just a little bit of time and effort can go a long way in helping others.

We're putting together some care packages and shipping them off to Mr. Tom next week!

Semper Fi!

A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

Thank you for your overwhelming response to our appeal to the JOTW network. We have helped some service men and women in Afghanistan, and that's a wonderful thing. The power of this network has inspired a follow-up challenge and appeal.

– Here's the response I received from Tom Clementson:

Ned,

This thing has really gone viral. I'm more than confident we'll have coffee creamer for a good while but it had me thinking that we might be able to make a real difference beyond comfort items for my team here. We're currently working with U.K. Soldiers here to help an orphange here in Kabul. I'd like to see where they're short in terms of school supplies and toys. Is this an effort that you would help us support? In the grand scheme it just seems petty to ask for something so small for comfort when we can really make an impact on young lives.

Tom

– Ned replies:

I like the idea…So will my network. Any instructions on what you need, want, how it should be packed, marked, etc?

Tom answers:

Ned,

Talked to Sgt. Jonny Howells (U.K. Army) about what they need. Right now the team is supporting two orphanages and a school here in Kabul and the best we can do for these kids is pull together clothing, school supplies and toys. A few specifics would include: Soccer balls and simple toys, legal pads / note pads, pens, rulers, crayons – coloring books, baby clothes, t-shirts for kids up to 14yrs…The Brits have done a great job supporting local kids here in Kabul and all in their off time. A few of us newly arrived from the U.S. side decided to join the effort since we're all mostly over the 1776 / 1812 business.

Anyway, really appreciate any of the help you might be able to provide in getting the word out. We don't require a lot from any one person but a little from each goes a long way in helping some kids in Kabul.

We'll try to get you some pictures next time we're out on a visit.

Tom

– Ned's challenge to the JOTW network:

Please see if you can support this appeal. Send the above requested supplies to:

A special appeal to the JOTW network for powdered non-dairy coffee creamer

A special appeal to the JOTW network for powdered non-dairy coffee creamer

Through my colleague Gregg Shields in Dallas comes this appeal for assistance that I think we all can support. Tom Clementson is a senior advisor for public affairs at the ISAF Joint Command in Afghanistan. Like any red-blooded American, he likes his coffee. But due to the remote location, Tom and his colleagues find it hard to find powdered creamer for their coffee. He reports:

It's less of a necessity than a true comfort item but any flavored creamers of the powdered variety. We have the basics here but unlike most of the larger U.S. bases, our NATO base is very Euro. Again, thanks so much. Address is below.
V/R,
Tom
Tom Clementson
KAIA Attn: IJC PAO
APO AE 09320

So, I am asking my fellow “nedworkers” to grab some non-dairy powdered coffee creamer and package it for shipment to Tom at the above address.

If you don't have any coffee creamer handy, because you are like me and take your Navy coffee straight, then Tom says:

“The team will be thrilled and even if people just want to drop a postcard to The IJC Public Affairs Team. We'd be very happy with that.”

APO addresses are part of the U.S. postal system, so you don't need to worry about customs paperwork.

Please pass this on to your fellow communication professionals.

A special JOTW offer: “Break Into TV”

From Jonathan Novack:

I have a special offer for JOTW subscribers. I teach a “Break Into TV” performance workshop in Los Angeles where people learn skills for hosting, news reporting and weather. I've been a host, reporter and weatherman in major markets across the U.S. for 10 years. No one in L.A. holds an across-the-board class like this. The next BITV Weekend Intensive is Saturday and Sunday, August 20th and 21st, 10am-5pm. I hold one every month. I train students for two days, and then they get to record demo reels. It's usually $350, but for anyone who mentions 'JOTW' the price is only $200.

Thanks for your time and your amazing newsletter!

“Always be smarter than the people who hire you.”

“I don't even know what you're talking about, man. It sounds awesome, though, doesn't it?”

– Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who hit the game-winning hit in last night's 16-inning 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay (the game lasted 5 hours and 4 minutes), upon learning his teammates were calling him the “muddy Chicken.”

*** From Connie Eckard, ABC, IABC Fellow:

Bless you — wherever you are. As for me, I'm in Bloomington, Indiana, home of the University of Basketball. It is freshman orientation week at the University of Indiana, and even FEMA deployees have difficulty finding hotel rooms where they may rest after doing daily battle with the results of earlier storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding. It is in the high 90s here with matching humidity, so don't be in a rush to get back to North America. Just know that we are here and thinking of you — between cold drinks of water.

Thanks for your support. –Connie

*** Breathe:

Ned,

You go off to Turkey and Italy and enjoy some strong coffee and a

biscotti for all of us. Take a break. Breathe. Have fun. Don't worry.

The Nedworkers can be patient! Thank you so very much for all you do

and how well you do it. Your dedication is amazing. I honor you as a

veteran, mentor and colleague!!

Safe travels and cheers to you!

Angie Anderson

Economic & Community Development Department

City of York, Pennsylvania

P.S. I've met you at several PRSA/IABC events: Elizabethtown College,

several conferences

(This is a typical response to my hard drive crash notice.)

*** From Kris Gallagher, ABC:

Ned –

Condolences on the computer issue. Remember this:

This life is a test.

It is only a test.

If this had been a real life, you would have been given further

instructions on where to go and what to do.

(Seems like you're making a good start with Italy…)

Kris Gallagher, ABC

*** From Pat Valdata:

Ned, you're entitled to a holiday. Enjoy Turkey and Italy and don't worry

about JOTW.

I'm envious: two years ago in July I went to Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, and

France with brief stops in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Monaco.

Although being able to cross those borders with ease was certainly an

advantage, I sure wish my passport had stamps from all those countries

instead of just my two entry/exit points: Munich and Dusseldorf.

This year I am stuck at home.

Pat

(If you did something to piss off the customs guys at every boarder you would get some stamps for sure.)

*** Ned, in light of your message about technical problems, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the JOTW bulletin. It’s been a terrific, consistent service to so many communications professionals. We all appreciate it. Have a good trip!

Carol McConaughy

(IABC-DC member)

*** From Josh Rosenblum:

Hi Ned,

When I saw you had technical difficulties this week as many of us have had at inopportune times, I wanted to share my first thanks to you for years of timely JOTW's. You've brought me and others I've helped with job searching so many fantastic jobs that I hadn't seen elsewhere. From your fun postings in far off lands, to weekly piracy reports to your enjoyable anecdotes, and of course to the wonderful jobs, you've brought an enjoyable Monday morning to me since I first found out about JOTW through a friend years ago. You had no need to apologize to your loyal readers who no doubt appreciate all of your fantastic help, advice, and positive encouragement. So thanks for so many enjoyable JOTW's and thanks for the many on time JOTW's. If you happen to ever send a late one again, it will no doubt be as enjoyable or more enjoyable than your many, many on-time JOTW's!

Thanks so much for your JOTW's. They really do make my Monday mornings! Good luck with your Dell!

Best,

Josh Rosenblum

Washington, DC

(Turns out they were done by the time I was returning north on the 405 to head west on the 10 to Santa Monica. I had virtually no traffic from San Diego to Pacific Palisades. Now, this morning will be a different story as we drive back south to go to Sea World during LA rush hour.)

*** Rewarding experience:

DRIVE TO BE THE BEST AND BEGIN YOUR QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE

The 2011 Silver Quill winners will be announced at the 2011 Heritage Region

Conference from October 9 – 11 in Detroit; and, while that may appear to be a

ways off, the deadline for Silver Quill entries is right around the corner.

The final deadline is July 22. This is your chance to showcase all of the great work you have accomplished in the past year. All business communicators in the Heritage Region are eligible to enter, and non-IABC members may enter the competition as well.

There are numerous reasons to enter the Silver Quill competition. The summer

deadline allows members to receive the judging critique in time to prepare

entries for IABC’s 2012 Gold Quill competition. All entries receive electronic, detailed evaluations based upon quality consistent standards. Judging is conducted by select panels of experienced communication professionals – ABCs and past Quill winners.

All the pertinent information you need to enter the competition – fees,

categories, etc. – can be found at heritageregion.iabc.com/2011-silver-quill.

Winners will be recognized at the Silver Quill Awards Banquet in Detroit during the Heritage Region Conference.
