Barnes and Noble "Shop 'n Share" Fundraising Event

On Friday, November 21 go to your local Barnes and Noble Bookstore anywhere in the United States. Present this voucher when you pay for your purchases, and a percentage of your purchases on that day (including café purchases if your local Barnes and Noble has one) will go to benefit the Lake County Discovery Museum. You can make copies of the voucher and pass it on to friends, family, and colleagues. The size of the percentage to the museum grows as total sales go up, up to 20% of total identified "museum" sales on that day, so depending on how great the participation is, this could be terrific for the museum! We are very excited about this new partnership with Barnes and Noble and hope you will join us in making it a huge success. [Permalink]
