Congratulations to Mary Ferraro of Spectrum Signs! She won the drawing for the second week of our contest and will receive a copy of "It's Easy Being Green" by Chrissy Trask.

The contest continues! Every quarter we shut down the company and venture out into the community to perform random acts of kindness. We want to hear your suggestions!

Fill out the form on our website and let us know your suggestion. (Suggestions are not limited to only charities that support our environment, so feel free to tell us your favorite charity!)

And there are glittering prizes! Each week on Friday, until EarthDay 2008, we will pick 1 suggestion at random and the lucky winner will receive a copy of, "It's Easy being Green, A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living" by Crissy Trask. And, on EarthDay, the entire staff of Evolve Systems will gather and vote on the best community service suggestion and the winner will receive:

A copy of "It's Easy Being Green, A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living" by Crissy Trask
A $25 gift certificate to The Good Earth restaurant

Web Seminar:
This Isn't Your Father's Internet; Marketing in the Age of Web 2.0

The Internet has evolved. Gone are the days when a static, information-only website can attract visitors to grow web traffic and generate consistent sales revenue. While most of us are familiar with Google, words like MySpace, FaceBook, Blogs, YouTube, Social Networking and Content Management Systems (CMS) are now part of the lexicon. As the playing field has changed, so, too, must the tools in your marketing toolbox.

Donald Raleigh, President of Evolve Systems, will discuss the benefits of using a CMS as an efficient vehicle in reaching this new audience. A CMS puts the control of the web site into the hands of the average user. By providing an easy to use and understand system, a CMS will change the way you think about web sites and marketing to your customers.

Date: Tuesday, April 15

Time: 10:00 - 11:00 a.m.

Topic:Web 2.0

RSVP: . Limit 20 people. Sign up now to reserve your place!

Location: Evolve Systems Conference Room
