What is Danny doing these days?

I'm making a book about West Virginia.

We're trying to raise $947 to self-publish this wonderful little book.
We're almost at $500 now! which is awesome!

However, it would be great if we could get more people to pledge support.

All people who pledge support will be rewarded. I'm sending many different rewards to people who help.

Please go here to see all the different rewards and pledge $3 or .47 cents to help us self-publish because every cent counts.

Go here to make a pledge today. You'll be rewarded:

Orangeburg County is Leader in Character Education

I read an interesting article today about Orangeburg County (South Carolina) regarding "Character Education."

They had a group, including, their Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Revitalization Association, and their County Development Commission and The Times and Democrat that started a "Community of Character."

Wow, that is a lot of groups to focus on character!

This started back in 2000. They had their first conference in 2005.

The article claims that character education is a fast-growing movement in schools.

I'm very pleased to hear about this wonderful plan to help teach virtues and character values that children need so much today.

Read the article here:

And if you haven't done so already, get your copy of my children's book, "Building Character with Sam, Izzy, & Many Other Dogs: 15 Tips to Help Teach Children Character." It uses pictures of cute dogs (and some cats) to teach character values including: acceptance of others, making a compromise, having empathy for others, being a good listner, being a good team-player, and so many more.

Get it here:

Here is the game today. You might want to get it for your child.



The book series seems real interesting:

Help Animals!

My good friend Lisa sent this email to me:

To All,

I am sending this e-mail to all my contacts because I have a chance to
help so many animals in need of being rescued and transported by
flying them to more adoptable places where they have a chance of
finding homes from people who will give them unconditional love. I was
asked by Pilots N Paws in SC to do this for them and i said yes.

I am a Pet Consultant for ShurePets and sell pet products and a direct
sales company like Avon and tupperware. Now we have a fundraising
program to help non-profit organizations. They have to have their tax
exempt status 501C(3). This process is simple. I set up a fundraising
web page for Pilots N Paws. Everything is done online. each
organization that signs up will receive 25% of the cost of each
product sold. Our products are 100% natural, organic and made in the
USA.

I ask that everyone send this to at least 3 people to Pay it Forward
and i ask everyone who have a facebook page to post this message and
link on their Facebook page. Twitter people please do the same. I
really like this to be a huge success and my goal is to raise at least
$2000.00-$3000.00 if a huge number of people place small orders we
could do this. I would rather people give in small amounts because of
our economy and I think it can happen.

The following is the Fundraiser

Thank You to all who participate. PLEASE PAY IT FORWARD TO AT LEAST 3 PEOPLE!

I'm Making a NEW Book! And You Can Help! -- Danny P.

Hey there, It’s your good friend, Danny here!

Two Quick Things:

1.) I’m making a New Book!

It is all about West Virginia! Hollywood makes West Virginia out to be a bad place. That isn't the West Virginia I know, So, I'm making a book to show the real West Virginia.

Second, scoll down...


2.) I have an IMPORTANT Question for you:

Do You Want Your Name in a Book?

Pledge support and your name will be included in the book!


Pretty cool, huh? I thought you’d agree.

Here is the deal:

■ If you pledge $9 your name will be listed as one of our “Monarch Butterflies.” (State Insect)
■ If you pledge $23 your name will be listed as one of our “Red Cardinals.” (State Bird)
■ If you pledge $47 your name will be listed as one of our “Black Bears.” (State Animal)
■ If you pledge $73 your name will be listed as one of our “Mountaineers – are always free.” (State Motto).

Plus there are many more rewards with each level of support.

The $23 level of support is really just a pre-order for the book.

The book will have 150 pictures of West Virginia!

Here is a sample of West Virginia beauty:(Photo by Carrie Pettry).

So, Alrighty now:

Go ahead and pledge your support now while it is fresh on your mind.
