<p>77 countries and thousands of organizations join effort to inspire the next<br />
generation of entrepreneurs</p>
<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 17, 2008) - Beginning today, Global Entrepreneurship<br />
Week, the world&#8217;s first-ever celebration of enterprising spirit, arrives as<br />
an international, open-source answer to the current economic downturn.</p>
<p>Recognizing the global nature of many of the challenges we face, Global<br />
Entrepreneurship Week, Nov. 17-23, will connect innovative young people with<br />
their counterparts around the world, and ultimately create a global movement<br />
of entrepreneurial people.</p>
<p>Co-founded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in the United States and Make Your Mark, a business-led, government-backed campaign in the United Kingdom, the Week is estimated to engage more than 5 million young people in 77 countries through more than 11,000 events.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now more than ever, it is imperative that we do everything we can to<br />
promote entrepreneurship,&#8221; said Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the<br />
Kauffman Foundation. &#8220;As the global economic downturn deepens, we are<br />
relying on entrepreneurial people with new thinking to lead us out of the<br />
recession. We look forward to the outcome of this unprecedented<br />
celebration.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the United States, all 50 states are joining the global effort with more<br />
than 1,200 partners hosting 800-plus events throughout the country.</p>
<p>Global Entrepreneurship Week is an outgrowth of Global Enterprise Week in<br />
the UK, which began four years ago, and EntrepreneurshipWeek USA in 2007.<br />
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Schramm joined forces to create a combined<br />
effort that would reach out to countries around the world and create<br />
cross-cultural discussions about entrepreneurship and its importance.</p>
<p>&#8220;Global Entrepreneurship Week brings young people together across national<br />
borders, taking enterprise to the classroom and giving young people the<br />
confidence and self-belief not only to develop tomorrow&#8217;s big ideas but to<br />
put them into practice,&#8221; said Brown. &#8220;The Week will reach millions of young<br />
people, and to each one of them my challenge is this: Believe in your ideas<br />
and make them happen. You can be making a difference, so be bold, be<br />
imaginative, be brilliant. That&#8217;s really what this Week is all about. Enjoy<br />
it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Those supporting Global Entrepreneurship Week include big-name entrepreneurs and leading business figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, California governor; Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group; Pan Shiyi, founder of SOHO China; Russell Simmons, U.S. hip-hop pioneer; Lord Bilimoria, founder of Cobra Beer; Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.</p>
<p>Global businesses supporting the Week include global sponsors Ernst &amp; Young,<br />
IBM and NYSE Euronext, as well as Honda, Dell, Coca-Cola, Microsoft and<br />
Intel. Below is a list of the participating countries.</p>

Act Locally. </span></strong></span></span></p>
<p>As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), ABS is pleased to co-sponsor an event on November 18 entitled &#8220;Starting a Company: From Idea to Reality&#8221; (<a href="http://www.integra-ls.com/event/">http://www.integra-ls.com/event/</a>).  Read on for ideas about how you can get involved!</p>
<p>Young men and women intrigued by entrepreneurship can learn more about it during Global Entrepreneurship Week, November 17 to 23.</p>
<p>The worldwide initiative is designed to inspire, connect, inform, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs, defined as people under 30 years old.</p>
<p>More than 60 countries around the world have signed on as participants. During the week, a series of events will be held on international, national and local levels. Activities will include invention competitions, entrepreneurship film festivals, networking events, school-based activities and local entrepreneurship summits.</p>
<p>While global in scope, at its heart the week is a local initiative reflecting the customs and entrepreneurial culture of each community. After all, what works in Boise, Idaho might be quite different from what works in Bangalore, India. For example, the Netherlands is launching its version of the week from the floor of Euronext, and Chile is planning a 10K race.</p>
<p>Global Entrepreneurship Week was initiated by the Kauffman Foundation in the U.S. and Make Your Mark in the United Kingdom. Global sponsors are Ernst &amp; Young, IBM and NYSE.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Bill Labbree, Jr. Continues the Tradition of Service and Dedication to the Community and the Real Estate Industry set by Bill Labbree, Sr.</h3>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;">Cherry Hill, NJ</span></strong><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;"> – The Board of Directors of the Burlington Camden County Association of Realtors (<a href="http://www.bccar.us/">BCCAR</a>)  has voted to appoint Bill Labbree, Jr., a Broker associate with Labbree Realty in Gloucester City, to fulfill the term of a vacated seat on the BCCAR Board of Directors through 2008.  Labbree, Jr. is also on the slate of new directors that will be seated in January of 2009 to serve for the following term. Currently Labbree, Jr. is serving on the Budget and Legislative Committees of the BCCAR Board. He is also in his 2<sup>nd</sup> year of serving as Chairman of the BCCAR Grievance Committee.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Labbree, Jr. has also served on numerous other committees and focus groups of BCCAR and of the Camden County Association of Realtors (CCAR) before it merged with the Burlington County Association of Realtors (BCAR). The BCCAR is a professional real estate organization of approximately 4,000 Realtors and affiliates. Labbree, Jr. previously served as the NJ SAC Representative on the Board of Directors for the TReND Multiple Listing Service, a tri-state organization that provides property, tax and listing information to its members. In addition, Labbree, Jr. has earned the Accredited Buyer&#8217;s Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designations from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and was awarded the EDGE Award by the CCAR three times.  </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Bill Labbree, Jr. is literally following in the footsteps of his father, Bill Labbree, Sr. (CRS, GRI) who has been in the real estate business since 1960, served on the Board of Directors of the CCAR, as well as, a multitude of committees and groups, including as a Condemnation Commissioner for the State of New Jersey. In addition to instilling a need to remain active and informed of updates and changes in the real estate industry, Labbree, Sr. stressed the need for Labbree, Jr. to be active in and serve the communities in which Labbree Realty does business. He emphasized that this was not for the sake of business but because Gloucester City and Brooklawn are their communities, they are where they live. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">A list of Labbree, Sr.&#8217;s service would be too cumbersome to print. Labbree, Jr.&#8217;s recent community involvement includes currently serving on the Urban Enterprise Zone Board, the Broadway/Monmouth Redevelopment Committee, Gloucester City Business Association Treasurer and Gloucester City School Board Key Communicators. Other recent service includes Gloucester City College Bound Advisory Board for Camden County College, Room Parent at Alice Costello School, Cub Scout Den Leader, Boy Scout Committee Member, just to name a few. However, Labbree, Jr. believes the most valuable community service he provides is assisting people with the opportunity to achieve the American Dream of owning an affordable home.</span></span></p>
