SOUND OFF: SPECIAL EVENTS

— Marlynne Walker, communications and development associate, Contra Costa Child Care Council, a Concord, Calif.-based provider of child-care programs and services

“In addition to providing information about the event, the most important aspect of the Internet is facilitating registration. The easier you make it for a person to respond, the better your chances for a registrant to reply. It is now possible to register online for all of our events, including our national signature event, Walk to D’Feet ALS. People need to feel safe when giving their credit card information as well.”
