Below is an iReport from Network TwentyOne Hungary’s Country Manager, Barbara Nagy who was instrumental in helping to orchestrate the coordination of Network TwentyOne’s business partners and the Red Cross to make a real difference at a time of real need. Take it away Barbie…

“Do you remember the iReport about the tragedy that happened in Hungary in the afternoon of October the 4th ,2010? Toxic sludge from a factory flooded across 4 villages destroying more than 300 families’ homes.

This tragedy united Network TwenytOne, Network of Caring and the International Red Cross in a Business Seminar in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. A huge amount of clothing and food donations were collected at the entrance and over $8,000 USD in cash donations were given by Network TwentyOne affiliated Amway business owners.

On behalf of all those who were in need I would like to say a special thank you to everyone involved! I am more than happy to inform all of you that because of the awareness that came from the unity of all who felt the need to help –last week the Hungarian Government has given out 109 brand new houses to the victims of this disaster families.

I and my entire staff feel blessed to be a part of Network TwentyOne and that we were given the opportunity to work hand with our business partners to be a part of helping others!”

“Wow! Jim & Nancy Dornan were back and better than ever! NALC 2011 had the perfect recipe for an unbelievable weekend. Jim & Nancy would be more than enough and add more amazing speakers like Massimo & Betty Bini, Bob Andrews, David & Jules Dornan, Frank Luntz and Miss America! We were blown away and inspired by their knowledge and insight! I can’t wait for Winter Conference 2012!”

g to those less fortunate … first with the Budapest flood and now with heads up on the work that Network TwentyOne and it’s charitable subsidiary, Network Of Caring, were recently recognized for by Amway Corporation. You guys rock!!!

Recently in Amway’s Achieve magazine, Network TwentyOne was spotlighted for their work done to assist in aid relief to those who suffered from Haiti’s devastating earthquake earlier this year. Inspired by the leadership of Network TwentyOne’s founders Jim and Nancy Dornan… orchestrated by Network Of Caring’s Chief Significance Officer R.D. Saunders… and funded by many Network TwentyOne affiliated Amway business owners around the world, 550 wheelchairs were delivered and distributed to Haitians in need.

With over $30 million dollars in support raised including over 55,000 children sponsored around the world in the last 13 years, Network TwentyOne and it’s affiliated business owners have and will continue to do amazing things for people in need.

“In the afternoon of October the 4th, 2010, more than 300 families’ lives were shattered in just a few minutes as toxic sludge from a local factory flooded across 4 villages, killing 9 people, injuring many more and destroying the property and homes of over 300 families. To this day, many are still hospitalized with severe chemical burns from this toxic flood.

This tragedy brought together Network TwentyOne, Network of Caring and the International Red Cross last weekend at a Network TwentyOne Business Building Seminar in Budapest, Hungary where the wonderful feeling of the united effort to help others became reality. It was such a blessing to experience the goodwill of Network TwentyOne affiliated Amway business owners as well as Network TwentyOne staff giving in the spirit so often espoused and demonstratd by Network TwentyOne founders, Jim and Nancy Dornan.

With a special thanks to Hans & Eva Nusshold, Crown Ambassadors from Austria for the generous support in kicking off the fund raising effort… over $8,000 in cash donations was collected. Additionally, people were amazed at the huge amount of food and clothing donations that was collected at the entrance of the seminar. Many business owners had tears in their eyes when they realized what unity and goodwill together can achieve. The van that Red Cross has sent to pick up the donations had to return 4 additional times to take away all of the donations for the flood victims. When asked, the representative from the Red Cross said ” I have never experienced such a unity and action from one organization before!”

On behalf of the many families we have assisted, THANK YOU!  THANK YOU! THANK YOU!”

“This year’s European Go Diamond proved to be the biggest ever, with over 2300 participants from 23 countries. Jim & Nancy Dornan, Founders Crown Ambassadors with 50 FAA points were joined by some of the biggest names in the business like Founder Crown Ambassadors Mitch and Deirdre Sala from Australia, as well as leading figures in Europe, Crown Ambassadors Hans & Eva Nusshold to provide vision and inspiration .

The event was a star-studded affair with a total of 3 Founder Crown Ambassadors, 2 Crown Ambassadors, 1 Crown, 5 Double Diamonds, 8 Executive Diamonds and more than 70 other Diamonds and Founder Diamonds attending. One of the highlights of the event was the recognition of new Diamonds Oksana &Yuriy Tataru, new Executive Diamonds Jaroslav & Valentina Pavlyuk and Mikhail &Valentina Bludov and 2 new Double Diamonds – Izabela & Marek Bujwicki from Poland and Alois & Sissy Petra Szuchar from Austria.

The Go Diamond audience also had an opportunity to hear inspirational speeches from Network TwentyOne’s second generation – guest speakers David & Jules Dornan from the USA who have recently qualified as Founder Diamonds. Live translation into 13 languages was provided to ensure that no one missed the words of leadership.

To do justice to the importance of Go Diamond, an ordinary sport hall in the city was transformed into something resembling a ballroom which ensured everyone was able to enjoy themselves in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Amway provided an extensive exhibition, and Network TwentyOne’s Network of Caring charitable organization was also there and raised over $25,000 to help further the fantastic work they are doing to help disadvantaged people around the world.

And it didn’t end with Go Diamond. The day after the event over 500 European Emeralds attended the Emerald Forum for a rewarding day of motivation and education. The Forum was held in the beautiful Intercontinental Hotel and was wrapped up with a reception with music provided by a live pianist – a fittingly elegant end to the day.”

Very cool … check out the Dornan’s 50 FAA point section and the Parting Words from Bob Andrews as the outgoing Chairman of the IBOAI.

2009 was a landmark year if for nothing else … it was the year I was “born”. It has been great and I have loved getting to meet so many of you and also interviewing so many of our global leaders. The Podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and this website have all been useful tools for spotlighting the amazing global community that is Network TwentyOne.

.

Amway turns 50 – What a great celebration and a statement about the viability and strength of the Amway business opportunity. I was fortunate enough to be in Ada and Las Vegas for the celebrations and the vision of so many leaders from around the world coming together to celebrate Amway’s success.

.

Network TwentyOne celebrated “20 Years of Excellence” in Las Vegas with hundreds of Diamonds and above from around the world. As John Maxwell pointed out in addressing the Network TwentyOne Diamonds, “the global leadership team of Network TwentyOne is truly unprecedented and to be respected for the achievement it represents.” And it is in just such an environment with so many leaders brought together from over 25 countries that we begin to recognize the strength and power of our “global community”.

.

Jim and Nancy Dornan were recognized for achieving 50 FAA points and spotlighted in Amway’s Achieve magazine (click here to read the article). In addition to this Jim and Nancy were presented with a check from Amway for $2,000,000.00 in Washington DC at our annual Free Enterprise conference… and yes that is their new Hawker 800 jet in the background that they spent their FAA bonus on. Nothing like seeing leaders reinvesting their earnings back into building their business.

.

Network TwentyOne launched it’s 1st iPhone application which while not changing the way anyone is building their business, showed it’s globally affiliated business owners that they are serious about embracing technology in unique and relevant ways. Also look for major changes to Channel-21 this year that will, amoung other things, allow subscribers to view the streaming content from their smart phones.

.

Network TwentyOne North America launched it’s new website (www.n21.com) and with it a new video on it’s homepage entitled “We’re Not Guessing“. Look for a similar look and feel on other Network TwentyOne websites including n21corp.com in 2010 as we continue to invest to support Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners around the world.

.

We added iReport to n21guy.com to allow Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners from around the world to submit photos and short articles from the events they attend.
