Microsoft’s Give Drive
It’s Microsoft’s annual Give Campaign and is my custom for the last four years I donate a late-bloomer sax lesson. Not only do I get to meet people returning to music, but the program gets a donation. Here’s my entry as of today.
The Giving Campaign Auction is just one of the many programs and activities to raise money for the United Way. You can win items donated by fellow employees, and donate something yourself. All funds are matched by Microsoft. The Auction tool is built this year by a group of volunteers from MSIT and they are using Windows Azure with a brand new Silverlight UI. It is so much easier to use than last year’s auction tool.

About Jim Glass
As the Microsoft Dynamics CRM UX site manager, I am a passionate advocate for our customers, especially in the areas of CRM, Microsoft Dynamics, small business, and business web sites.
After twenty years in the U.S. Army Engineer Corps, I started at Microsoft as a contractor on the newly formed NT DDK team in 92. I then moved to the Trolls, a production team for the Windows SDK and DDK teams. I lead the WBEM team which became the WMI SDK team. My last seven years has been spent as the Visual Studio SDK doc. manager.
In my spare time I can be found tutoring my grandkids, playing the saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone), playing summer-league basketball, and moderating the Sax On The Web forum.
