Summer Hours at PEM; send a few bucks CCFC’s way

My girls are out of school, summer vacations have begun, and we’re moving into “summer office hours.” You can expect fewer blog posts from me here at Corporate Babysitter.

I am trying to line up some great guest bloggers and will continue to work on our site redesign.

One good way to stay on top of things is to subscribe to the Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood’s RSS feed.

And while you’re thinking about CCFC, take a moment to send them a few bucks. They need to raise ten grand by June 30, are over half-way there, and just need a bit more to make it. Remember, CCFC accepts no corporate funding — so folks like us can sure help them pay the bills.

And now, off to Aberdeen, South Dakota. Back next week!
