5 out of 5 stars Giving Back   November 3, 2008
I recently read Bert Berkley's book "Giving Back". I found it an excellent read and a very helpful guide for anyone who is looking for ways to give back to their community.


5 out of 5 stars Giving Back - in support of community service   September 13, 2008
This book demonstrates the many varied ways that individuals can make a difference in their communities. Having been involved with non-profit organizations for the past 25 years, I know the impact that dedicated volunteers and sponsors have on improving the lives of their neighbors. br /Thanks to Mr. Economy and Mr. Berkley for offering suggestions for other business leaders to give back to their communities.


5 out of 5 stars Turning Lemons into Lemonade!   June 21, 2008
Berkley and Economy have summarized, in a very simply fashion, how regular people with a vision and sense of purpose can step in and make things happen when others, like the goverment or agency, fail. This is a tale of ordinary people mobilizing others to do extraordinary things. It's both inspirational as well as reassuring that people like Bert, Peter and the others in the book are there to take action. We should all follow their lead.


5 out of 5 stars Giving Back, pass this message along   June 20, 2008
This book brings to light the real impact a business can have on a community. How can we get this message to more business and corporate leaders. The book will jump start your enthusiasm to give back to the community and become involved.


5 out of 5 stars A great read with a great message   June 20, 2008
This is in inspiring book! It made me reflect on how I could elevate the contributions of both myself and those I work with to help others in the community. As a company, we are faithful participants in Kansas City's Day Of Caring, the Susan B. Komen run, and multiple other community activities, but based on what others have done, we can clearly do much more. br /br /I encourage everyone to read this book!
