Contrary to what some might claim, we actually enjoy helping when we can, especially if it means money not out of our own pockets for future capital market servants. Therefore, we’re asking you to take two seconds out of your day to help the NJSCPA win a contest.
From NJSCPA Director of Communications Don Meyer:
In our never-ending effort to convince the world that CPAs aren’t dull, and hopefully to win $10,000, the NJSCPA entered a photo in the “Great Event Photo Contest” on Facebook – http://bit.ly/rkJPdE.
If our photo (a Society member salsa dancing at the 2011 NJSCPA Convention & Expo in Atlantic City) gets enough votes we could win $10,000 for the NJSCPA Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to high school and college students.
We’ll be encouraging (or nagging if you prefer) our members to vote for us by promoting the contest on Facebook, Twitter, NJSCPA Connect (www.njscpa.org/Connect), through email and by whatever other means we can think of.
We’re up against some big competition so we’re looking for whatever exposure we can get (hint, hint). Thanks.
Who says CPAs are dull?
You have until August 22nd to vote and can vote once a day using your Facebook profile.
Get on it!

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. […], maker of the single-serve Keurig brewing machine, fell to the lowest in seven months after hedge fund managing director Whitney Tilson said there may be potential for accounting fraud at the company. Green Mountain fell 10 percent to $58.19 at 1:07 p.m. in New York, after dropping to $56.19, the lowest intraday price since March 10. The shares lost 22 percent in the week before today after David Einhorn, the president of Greenlight Capital Inc., said the company has a “litany of accounting questions” and needs to improve its transparency.
