Hi guys,

I work at a national non-profit organization called Do Something,
(dosomething.org) and we support kids empowering themselves and their
community by giving them $500 grants after approving their proposals for
the betterment of the community. We have created a game that involves
making the world a better place. Rather than killing people or trying to
make a million dollars, Karma Tycoon lets you run not-for-profit
organizations in 11 cities across the US while achieving the goal of
helping as many people as possible. Since we have just started it recently, I would love to hear your feedback on the game. Check it out for yourself, www.karmatycoon.com

Simple concept, how flyers can help

While I was in the shower a couple of minutes ago, I figured out this simple concept to help some homeless people:

If you own a bar, you want publicity, it has to reach out and make a positive connection to your bar. So you'd probably make some flyers and spread them. My simple concept adds to that, as follows:

1) Make flyers (postcard size)

On the front side, 'One free beer for this good person'
On the backside, '......... is a good person'
Perhaps a little bit of design work to make it look 'official' (you'll understand if you read the rest)

2) Make contact with a homeless person who is willing to do some simple work
