Goodsearch

This has been mentioned before as an easy way to earn money for the organization. Since this was last posted about, there is a new part of this website: Goodshop! Read about it below. As Christmas draws closer (just two months from yesterday!), if you buy from any of these online stores (there are quite a few...) then go through this website after you've picked Jonathan House (or whatever organization you choose) and JH will receive a portion of the profit! How simple is that?! And it doesn't cost you anymore than had you gone to the store's site without going through Goodsearch. Search for Jonathan House Ministries where it instructs you to and it should come right up. Or click on the title of this post and it should bring you to the website with JonHouse already chosen! Thanks!!


Straight from the Goodsearch.com website:

Here's a new easy way to raise money for your favorite cause. Just start using Yahoo! powered GoodSearch.com as your search engine and they'll donate a penny to your favorite cause every time you do a search! In addition, do all of your shopping through their online shopping mall, GoodShop.com, where you can shop at more than 700 top online retailers and a percentage of your purchases will go to the charity or school of your choice. You pay the same price as you normally would, but a donation goes to your cause!
Here's the web site — http://www.goodsearch.com/. You can also read about GoodSearch in the NY Times, Oprah Magazine, CNN, ABC News and the Wall Street Journal.

Store Grand Opening & Pictures, Culver's Night

Here are two different views of inside of the store. I have many more, but not as much time to put them up. The third picture is of an event that several supporters came to (maybe you were there?) and we voted on the name of the store. The Grand Opening of the store is this next Friday, Oct. 31st & Saturday, Nov. 1st, 9 to 5 both days.


Grand Opening:
If you'd like to help work in the store on either day for the Grand Opening, email Jan @ jabuhatch@hotmail.com. There will be opportunities to set up and get it all ready, too--one of those being Tuesday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. And everyone helping Friday & Saturday is invited to wear African clothes.


Culver's Night:
This Tuesday, we will have a fundraising night at the Marshalltown Culver's. Stop in between 5 and 8 p.m. and Jonathan House will receive 10% of the proceeds of whatever is bought! If you'd like to come and help pass out brochures that would be great, too. Wear any African clothes you might have.

Come out to Culver's Tuesday and the Grand Opening Friday/Saturday and tell all your friends!
