Continue reading CreateAthon Morning Reveal Photos]]> I just want to express my “thanks” to Catherine Shafer of CDS Creative for inviting me to be a part of CreateAthon 2009. I have to admit, I did sneak out at 3:30am for a 90 minute power nap in the car! I enjoyed blogging, posting videos and tweeting throughout the event and was amazed at the talented team she assembled to crank out 33 separate projects for 15 local non-profits in just 24 hours. It was rewarding to watch these volunteers work around the clock to accomplish the goals that CreateAthon was founded upon.

    At 9am Friday morning, the 15 organizations arrived at the Junior Achievement building in Pittston, PA to be presented with the fruits of the teams labor. There was even a tear or two shed from some of the attendees who were thrilled with the work that was done and are excited to start using their new brochures or inviting people to visit their new website.

    Below are pictures of the organizations receiving their presentations:

    Special thanks to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader and Citizens Voice for their coverage of the event.

    Keep your eye on the CDS Creative website at http://www.cdscreative.com for samples of the work which was completed.
