Thrill seekers dare to ride the Tail of the Dragon, deals Gap, NC.-318 hairpin curves in 11 miles …then you turn around and do it again.

It's not that working in a creative environment every day isn't thrilling enough but every once in a while a change of scenery (and an Adrenaline rush) helps to spark new perspectives. This years dose for Jim and Stan (and friends from Tennessee and Arizona) came from a motorcycle ride through the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina (Cherohala Skyway) and culminated with a breathtaking run through the "Tail of the Dragon." www.tailofthedragon.com

"Party on the Lake" Success Suggests Caring People Still Give in Times of Economic Uncertainty

Breast Cancer Recovery is an organization that RS+K has supported since its' inception over ten years ago. Their Infinite Boundaries program conducts retreats that help Breast cancer survivors heal emotionally, spiritually and physically. For 8 years we conducted a golf outing to raise funds. Our efforts generated over $200,000 in donations. For the last two years, we have redirected our efforts and become a corporate sponsor of their "Party on the Lake" event.

By providing financial support as well as helping to motivate attendance and generate auction items, this event raised over $55,000 in 2009. An amazing success in light of the very uncertain economic times faced by most charitable organizations. In addition, RS+K created (pro bono) a direct mail campaign for a special program called Ann's Advocates, named after the organizations founder, Ann Haney. www.bcrecovery.org
