“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

On Saturday, October 17^th, Morphites went to PS 59 school in Brooklyn to spend the day volunteering for New York Cares Day. The site, which was also led by a Morpheus volunteer, is a school that encourages students to participate in their community at-large, either through student government, community service programs or voting on decisions that affect the school community on a regular basis. Together with two other companies, Morpheus volunteers helped beautify the school and encourage active learning. We were very excited to contribute to this event and kept our spirits up despite the weather conditions and intensive labor. However, despite the fun we had, nothing was more satisfying as the look on some students’ faces as they saw the results. We are already looking forward to next year.

Morpheus Media sets up Blood Drive

In the current economic climate, charities and non-profits are adversely affected as strapped budgets and donors cut back on everything from dinners out to charitable giving. Not surprisingly, volunteerism often climbs during this kind of economy as people hope to give back in some way, even if they can’t financially. In the spirit of finding ways to give back, Morpheus Media wanted to find something that we could help with that would make a real impact on people’s lives in the immediate future. With summer vacations and sunshine re-focusing priorities for many people in the summer, blood donations sink to extremely low levels – especially this year with swine flu and the recession as many planned blood drives were canceled. So on September 8th some Morpheus Media employees literally “rolled up their sleeves” to help!

With some support from other offices in the building (much thanks to the 10th floor) and a few publishers – shout out to X+1, Context Web, and Adconian! – we successfully gave 20 pints of blood to the New York Blood Center in their blood donation van parked across from the office. After re-cooperating with some pizza, cookies and juice, all was well. And now that everyone knows whether or not they are eligible (and that those British among us are not), we hope to have an even more successful drive on November 30th! Glad we have an extra excuse to load up on Thanksgiving turkey to keep our iron levels high!

Canned Soup

We have all been pretty busy here at Morpheus Media over the last few weeks and months. While getting to know new clients and brining new members on to the team is often an enjoyable experience, it can also be exhausting. So Sunday night several members of the Morpheus family made our way over a few blocks west to Caroline’s.

The headliner Sunday was Joel McHale of Entertainment Televisions “Talk Soup” and he definitely delivered. While the entire lineup got the job done, it seems like Joel has a special spot in the heart of some of the ladies here at Morpheus. I have to admit though, I had more fun than I thought I would and was impressed by all the performers.

So I just wanted to take a moment to thank Rebecca Matt for putting the whole evening together. Ms. Matt was able to get over twenty colleagues to amass together on a Sunday night in Times Square in July. This my friends is no easy feat. I would also like to thank our executive committee for sponsoring the event and keeping Morpheus a great place to work. As we continue to grow as a company it is wonderful to know that we are still able to keep the feeling of friends and family. Because in the end, who would you rather share a laugh with?
