| We've all heard of a dog being adopted from the | | | | because I keep staring at these really cool book |
| pound, or sending $12 a month to help a adopt an | | | | markers reminding me to send in $15. And to |
| African Child, but have you ever heard of the | | | | think that the price to make that Bookmarker |
| "Adopt a Book Marker Program" well, neither did I | | | | was probably less than a quarter, I'd say it was a |
| until just the other day, and I had a good laugh | | | | good fundraising campaign for them. That is until I |
| when I saw it, as it was at our public library. And | | | | looked at the back of the bookmarker, and on |
| yes as a matter of fact, I did need a couple of | | | | the bottom, it said that it was "printed by Joe's |
| book markers so, I adopted them, in other | | | | Printing Shop," and then I realized that the |
| words, I picked him up and took them for free. | | | | bookmarker didn't cost the Friends of the Library |
| Amazingly enough, I wasn't the only person doing | | | | a dime. |
| this, and it was something that the Friends of the | | | | Joe's Printing Shop had donated the paper and |
| Library program had done to help foster reading | | | | printing at no cost to them, and since they did, I |
| in the community, and on the Bookmarker was | | | | think I'll have them print my next batch of a |
| an advertisement to join the friends of the | | | | 1,000 business cards for being such a good |
| Library, or donate money to their adult literacy | | | | community player. If you are looking for a really |
| program. I thought this was a wonderful | | | | good idea to promote your nonprofit group, why |
| public-relations idea. It is amazing what creative | | | | not think along these terms and see what ideas |
| people will think of when given the chance. | | | | that you can come up with? Please consider all |
| Maybe, I will join the Friends of the Library, | | | | this. |
