Einstein on TPRF

Know Thy Selfie Einstein.jpg

OK. Update time. 20 selfies have been submitted so far to TPRF's Know Thy Selfie campaign -- a fun way for everyone to participate in this year's Annual Gala Benefit fundraising efforts. That's a good start, but we need another 100 to be submitted by July 15th for the video to really fly. You in? All you need is a smart phone, four minutes, and the desire to help foster dignity, peace, and prosperity in the world.

KNOW THY SELFIE Goes Viral!

photo 5.jpg

OK, so I'm not a great photographer and the lighting is lame. Big deal. In the grand scheme of things, it's really not all that important.

What IS important? I just emailed my selfie to tprfselfies@gmail.com after making a donation to TPRF.

My selfie (and yours, hopefully) will be part of a fun video to be premiered at TPRF's Gala Benefit, on July 20th, at the Four Seasons Hotel, in LA. The video will also be posted to TPRF's YouTube channel on the same day.

Come join in the fun. All we need are another 112 selfies submitted by July 15th so we can make an awesome video celebrating YOU and the other generous supporters of TPRF who have said YES to making a difference in the world.

Raising the Bar, Not Being Behind Bars

HandBars.jpg

The quote above is from an inmate in a Spanish prison who participated in TPRF's Peace Education Program. If you want to support the work of TPRF so more inmates (and hungry children... and nursing home residents... and people in hospices... and disaster victims...and many other people in need) can have more dignity, peace, and prosperity in their lives, consider making a donation to TPRF as part of it's Annual Gala Benefit fundraising campaign. Every little bit helps.

Or if you want to be in our video that will be premiered on July 20th at the Four Seasons Hotel in LA and online at TPRF's YouTube Channel, become part of our fun Know Thy Selfie campaign.

As Robert Louis Stevenson once said: "You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."

TPRF's Know Thy Selfie Campaign

socself.jpg

One of the most popular quotes in the world, "Know Thy Self", has long ago been attributed to the great Greek philosopher, Socrates. It's popularity, some say, can be attributed to two things: its brevity and its profound meaning.

Recently however, an archeological dig in Greece has revealed a possible new interpretation of the quote -- one that Greek linguists are claiming to be "Know Thy Selfie."

Apparently, the archeological dig has unearthed a sketch of Socrates holding some kind of device in his right hand -- what leading pundits are now asserting to be an early predecessor of the cell phone.

Inspired by the profound implications of this finding and greatly taken with the Greek principal of participatory democracy, TPRF has decided to launch its first annual KNOW THY SELFIE campaign -- one I warmly invite you to participate in.

It's simple to do, a lot of fun, and may very well change the course of Western Civilization. Eastern, too.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. Make a contribution here to the Benefit campaign in any amount from $1 to $499.

2. Email your selfie and name to tprfselfies@gmail.com by July 15th.

3. Your name and selfie will be included in the world premiere showing of a Know Thy Selfie video at the Benefit event

4. The video will be published on TPRF's YouTube channel at the time it's shown at the event.

5. TPRF's fundraising efforts will succeed, YOU get your 15 nanoseconds of fame, and Socrates gets a free upgrade on his quote.

Even if you can't make it to LA for the Benefit on July 20th, you can still participate in the fun. No donation is too small. You can still help people, everywhere, know themselves.
