Dear Colleagues,
On March 11, 2011, a record 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck near the city of Sendai, Japan, generating a powerful tsunami that caused widespread devastation throughout the region. Our deepest condolences go out to the people of Japan and their families around the world.
The Performance Institute, along with other Thompson Media Group divisions, is helping people affected by the disasters, like the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, by donating to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund 10% of the gross proceeds of all online sales using the code “redcross” until Thursday, March 31, 2011.
There has never been a better time to get the publications and resources you need from Thompson Media Group, and also help those in need. We realize this gesture may be relatively small in comparison to the needs of the Japanese people, and we certainly encourage you to make a larger individual donation directly through the Red Cross. Your purchase will support the ongoing efforts of the Red Cross to provide medical care and relief assistance.
Please join me in keeping the people of Japan in your thoughts. We wish them strength and hope as they begin to recover and rebuild.

Bob Mate
CEO, Thompson Media Group
