When the economy is down, we tend to dwell on how hard it is for our families and us. Although it is true, it can be easy to forget how fortunate we truly are. We also tend to forget that the power to make an impact is within each of us individually; and I am going to PROVE IT right now, in what I hope will become an inspiration to people nationwide.

[youtube]ZpCCE1K3Q_I[/youtube]

Trend Factor Press is small publishing company, but we have joined forces with First Book and Community of Hope to make a big point – The Pen Is Mightier than Poverty. Through the end of October, we are hosting an online charity event that will positively impact the lives of thousands of children nationwide – an event driven by you and people like you passing on the message via the power of social media.

We are opening up our catalog for this event, including three new books launching at the beginning of November and one in January. For every book sold or pre-ordered from ANY series, Trend Factor Press will match it, book for book, with the donation of a brand new Early Math Series book to First Book AND with a monetary donation to Community of Hope. You get great books for the children in your life, for holiday gifts, for your business, and more; the children you help will get a critical early learning book just for them – their first new book.

I cannot sum it up any better than the 4-year old First Book child who said, "I love to read the books you gave us. I love when somebody cares."

Join me, and be a part of the movement

1. FIRST, Take this message and PASS IT ON! Email it, blog about it; post about it on your favorite social media site.
2. THEN, follow this link to our online store where you can make a purchase to make a difference.

On behalf of the children and families nationwide served by these great organizations, I want to personally thank you for choosing to make a difference.

Sincerely,
Dr. Amy Vanderbilt

The reality is that you as an individual, as a company or as a Government entity, cannot expect the struggling school systems to give your children and future star employees everything they need to be the building blocks of our future economic stability. It is time to do something and that something is to partner with us here at Trend Factor Press to bring Negative Nine and the Early Math Series to schools and reading programs across the nation.

WHY YOU SHOULD SPONSOR AN EDUCATIONAL DISTRIBUTION

• The lack of home-grown technical talent in the United States is hurting Government and Industry alike across every sector
• Developing the technical talent needed for 2020 and beyond has to start TODAY at the EARLIEST POSSIBLE POINT
• Teachers recognize what this book can do for them but they do not have the funding to acquire it – 75 percent of all teachers and librarians in the pre-kindergarten through fourth grade levels who hear about the book wish they had one, but they don’t even have the money to buy school supplies, much less critical concept-building books.
• US students are falling, ”further behind in math, trailing counterparts in 23 countries” – Associated Press, USA Today, December 4, 2007
• “This issue has reached a crisis point…If the United States is to remain a global economic leader, we must foster an environment that enables a new generation to dream up innovations” - Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft Corporation, The Washington Post, February 25, 2007

PARTNER WITH US

Trend Factor Press is a passionate supporter of early math & science education. We want to partner with you to put this innovative series into schools & programs nationwide:

• We will run a special printing with your logo and message inside each book
• We will support your PR efforts to show off your sponsorship
• We will provide books at a full one third off the list price
• We will handle all of the distribution
• We will pay all the shipping costs
• YOU will make a difference
