Administrative Professionals are many times seen as innovators, often the first to carry news of new products and features to their organizations. DeskDemon is encouraging these office professionals to take that same initiative and use their organizational skills to help others this holiday season by providing instructions and tools to create "adopt-a-family" programs within their organizations.

BELMONT, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2006 -- The world's largest online business tool and community site for administrative professionals, DeskDemon.com, is promoting its first annual drive "Make a Difference This Holiday Season." This campaign will encourage and educate administrative professionals world-wide on how to start an "Adopt-a-Family" program within their organizations.

DeskDemon has created a section for this program with instructions on how to start a program within an organization, a downloadable worksheet as a helpful tool and a form to share their companies' experiences with others. The idea is to get together with your colleagues and purchase holiday gifts for a family who cannot afford to buy their own this year.

Many organizations are on the lookout for companies willing to sponsor families in need of a little holiday assistance. Among them are churches and other religious organizations, schools, hospitals, and shelters. A few quick phone calls will most likely turn up a few possibilities; and, often, even members of your own work team will have affiliations with organizations looking for such sponsors.

Susan Silva, Editor of DeskDemon US, said: "The holidays are a time of joy and sharing. Nevertheless, for many the holidays may be a time hardship. Initiating a program where a company can sponsor or 'Adopt-a-Family' is one way to share and help our peers and co-workers, or even a family outside an organization have a happy holiday."

"Administrative Professionals are information portals within companies and experts at organization. We are hoping our viewers will take these skills and make that extra effort and help by implementing and coordinating a sponsorship program within their organizations. Whether it is a small program of gathering a few gifts for a childcare program or a more complicated program of helping a family get back on their feet, the personal reward of helping others is a gift in itself. And it's a great team bonding experience as well."
