The Companies That Care Virtual Book Club is held quarterly via teleconference. We read and discuss both non-fiction and fiction books about the work environment and community, and we share ideas for building workplaces that help people thrive! The Virtual Book Club is moderated, often includes the author as a guest, and lasts one hour. Previous books discussed include:

May 20, 2008 Book Club
May 20, 2008 Book Club will begin at 12:00 p.m. CST. The book selection for May 20th is The Cathedral Within: Transforming Your Life by Giving Something Back by Bill Shore.

In this wise and inspiring book, social entrepreneur Bill Shore shows us how to make the most of life and do something that counts. Like the cathedral builders of an earlier time, the visionaries described in this memoir share a single desire: to create something that endures. The extraordinary people Shore has met on his travels represent a new movement of citizens who are tapping into the vast resources of the private sector to improve public life. Among them are:

• Gary Mulhair, who has created unprecedented jobs and wealth at the largest self-supporting human-service organization of its kind, Pioneer Human Services of Seattle.
• Nancy Carstedt of the Chicago Childrenís Choir, which provides thousands of children their first introduction to music.
• Geoffrey Canada, who has made a safe haven for more than four thousand inner-city children in New York City, from Hell's Kitchen to Harlem.
