Giving and not expecting anything in return

I got this on 6-6-12  from one of my friends and Blog followers Ginger Jensen, Marketing Specialist at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford, DE and there is a lesson here for all of us about relationship building by just being genuinely friendly and caring

The other day I thought of you. Mainly because this was something that I thought you might blog about. It fits into that “giving and not expecting anything in return” category.  I received a note in the mail from someone I didn’t know. I knew OF him, but don’t even think I  had ever met him. Anyway, it was from Bob Wheatley, who is with Whayland, Alliance, Sussex County Planning and Zoning, etc. He simply placed a cut out of a newspaper clipping from The Seaford Star (of a picture that Lynn Parks took that shows me taking pictures at Nanticoke’s Girls Night Out Event) and taped it on his letterhead with a note that reads, “Your efforts to keep NMH in the public eye are noticed and appreciated! Bob Wheatley” Now, isn’t that the nicest?!?! That really made my day, my week, heck, it might even make my month! I don’t think he knows me from a hole in the wall, and he sent just a little note of gratitude. Now, do you know what I did immediately after receiving his note? I Googled him and his business, looked him up on Linked In. I now know who he is and what Whayland does. Now, how’s that for making me feel appreciated and, in turn, having one more person in the community who knows a bit about him and his business. Great thinking on his part!
