Mr. Jim Leginton at A Lad’s Lunch With Favor and Anna at Box1715. have honored my efforts to make a difference with the “Blogging Community Involvement Award.” Ms. Vanessa Byers at Vanessa Unplugged explains the significance of this schmoozing award better than I can. Thank you both for this deeply appreciated recognition.

Click on Vanessa Byers’ name in the previous paragraph for the specifics about what it means for a blogger who possesses the power of schmooze.

If time will not permit you to do so, here’s what Ms. Darlene Tenes, CEO of Marketing Maniacs has to say about “The Art Of Schmoozing.”

“The art of schmoozing is an essential social, career and life skill. Many people at the top of their fields are excellent schmoozers. They know how to connect with people and are able to leverage those connections.”

Many of the socially conscious bloggers I believe are excellent smoozers have already received their Blogging Community Involvement Awards. Due to a lightning strike that fried our phone lines, I’ve lost access to the Internet.

God willing, I shall conduct my research and award the bloggers who deserve to be honored and recognized by their peers no later than Monday of next week.
