Limited Keystone University Apparel Giveaway

Have you been coveting one of those sleek grey Keystone University t-shirts you’ve seen around town?  Have you daydreamed about what stylish trends you might set if you had your very own?

Well then this is your lucky day.

You may have heard about our Military Christmas Care Package Drive, and we’re trying to catch up to some of our other partners who are off to a faster start than we are in donation totals.

So… the first ten readers who make a donation (or call in with a pledge to donate) for our collection drive will receive a free Keystone University shirt, no strings attached… well, no strings other than the donation thing. These terribly sought-after shirts have previously only been available to attendees of Keystone University class sessions.  But now they can be had by anyone.

And we’ve made it really easy.  There are six locations where you can drop off your donation, and most of the needed items are available at your local grocery store.  Pick up a box of Pop-Tarts or some ibuprofen during your next weekly visit to Kroger.  Think about how good you’ll feel knowing you are helping provide some of the simple comforts of home to the troops stationed overseas.

  • Google is tracking searches related to the flu, such as “cough” or “flu symptoms.” They have developed a new flu-tracking system with guidance from the Center for Disease Control & Prevention.  By analyzing when and where flu-related searches are taking place, they are helping to track the spread of this year’s flu virus.

    That’s pretty freaking cool if you ask me.  The goal of the still-experimental system, called Flu Trends, is to discover new ways to track and predict the spread of influenza.  Considering that up to 20% of us are going to catch the flu this year, that seems to be a worthy goal.

    You can learn more or play around with Flu Trends yourself by going here.
