Guten tag!

According to my one-German-phrase-a-day calendar I'm still stuck on January 4th. Fortunately for the rest of the world following the Gregorian calendar we're now dancing on the last known week of January '09...and those of you following the Lunar calendar it's New Years all over again!
It's a great sunshiny day on the Miracle Mile in LA and we've (literally) weathered the storm. In the past seven days we've made excellent headwind!
I'd love to officially welcome our well-rounded team of interns to The Rainmaker Network. They all bring their constituent strengths, can-do attitude and bright-eyed-bushy-tailed eagerness to the project and we look forward to their fresh perspectives and creative input.
- Lauren (@lkmiller1014) -- UCSB
- Bebe (@twterbee) -- Vanguard Alum
- Farhan (@farhankhafta) -- College of the Desert
- Stephen (not a Twitterer yet!) -- CSUSB
- Elena (not a Twitterer yet!) -- CSUSB
In other news, our team has spent most of last week on the road (carpooling and driving at constant speeds, of course) in between Santa Barbara and San Bernardino. We've held a series of successful career sustainability workshops with the Department of Visual Art at CSUSB.
We were received graciously by the staff, administration and students of my alma mater.
Not only have our interns been busy-bees but so has our CEO, Lance Stacy (@myrainmaker). We're now officially partners with Brighter Planet and EcoStiletto.
- Brighter Planet helps people reduce and manage their carbon footprints. Their engaging web-based campaigns tap the power of social media to help consumers and businesses learn more about emissions, conserve what the can, and offset the rest. Brighter Planet carbon offset products fund only the most reputable climate change projects, demonstrating direct community and social value while reducing the amount of greenhouse gases being pumped into the atmosphere. To date, the company's customers have offset over 73 million pounds of CO2.
- EcoStiletto features green picks in fashion, beauty, parenting and the good life and explains, in real-girl terms, how eco-friendly choices can help turn your carbon footprint from a ginormous Ugg into an oh-so-slender Manolo.
Oh, and if you're wondering what I'm so busy doing...I've just inhaled an omelette but I've got a busy week ahead too! Keep up with me at @rainmakernet!
