Take a look at some questions we asked Carrie & Anna<br />
Sass regarding their experience in the Public Relations<br />
business as well as advice offered:<br />
<strong>Karima</strong>: How do you handle the unexpected?<br />
C. Sass: Take a deep breath, figure it out and move on.<br />
It happens all the time in this industry.<br />
exciting, because it brings all kinds of great people<br />
together for a common cause. It is all about kids. It’s<br />
really a happy day and it’s free to everyone. There are<br />
interactive booths, arts and crafts, free books, &<br />
entertainment. The Grupe Company gives us the entire<br />

come together to support literacy.<br />

gained amazing wisdom.<br />
