Last week I posted about the VIATeC Food Bank Challenge, both to let you know about about it, and to invite you to participate locally in your own drives. I emailed a few local firms as well, including two local SEO / SEM firms. Positive responses from most firms, but two really surprised me. The worse of the two was the one which informed me that “none of my clients are local, so why should I bother?” That really irked me. But I don’t believe we should have to prod others to participate; you should do so because you want to participate in the community where you reside. Their callous attitude bothered me.

This morning I received this letter from our bookkeeper Yvonne, who moved here from China six years ago. It was written to all our staff, but I asked her if I could copy the letter, to share with you.
