Donate Free Mammograms through The Breast Cancer Site at No Cost to You

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors and advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

nvitation to Join Harvard College for Women in Technology Summit : February 16

Two student groups at Harvard College : HDot and 85Broads will again join forces to host the second, annual intercollegiate Women in Technology Summit (WiTS!) on February 16, 2008 , at the Harvard College campus.

Last year, the Women in Technology Summit! provided a much-needed forum for discussion and in-depth analysis of issues concerning women in technology. We'd like to invite Wharton Women in Business to join the WiTS! 2008 Team as a campus liaison and help us publicize the summit enthusiastically at UPenn. 2008 is looking to gather campus liaisons on campuses along the entire coast to promote this annual discussion forum for women in technology. Primary responsibilities of campus liaisons include emailing relevant lists on campus, hanging posters in highly visible student areas, and eventually joining us for pre-event dinner with many of our illustrious speakers from Microsoft, Google, Cisco, SAP, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, etc.

If you have any questions or concerns, or are able to help out in any or all of the above capacities, please feel free to contact pjaju@fas.harvard.edu
