You need no technical know-how, it takes just a few minutes, it costs nothing and it carries on raising money for you for years. Quite a lot of interest was generated by this so here is a reminder of how to set up an internet shopping store. 1. Go to http://fund-raising.at/henryprince?CTY=13 2. Click the relevant area of the page: clubs, charities, schools or communities. (For playgroups, churches etc choose communities.) 3. Click "Join now for free" and enter your organisation's details. Your store will be automatically created. That's it. All you need to do now is tell all your supporters the web address and let them know that every purchase they make via your store earns your organisation up to 12% commission. Shops they can buy from include Marks and Spencer, HMV, Adams Kids, Amazon and the Early Learning Centre. You will even be sent posters and leaflets to help promote your store. To see an example of internet stores currently raising money for good causes go to http://www.buy.at/henryprince/ or http://www.buy.at/PerinatalIllnessUK/ __________________________________________________________ News and Events --------------- To announce your event, or children related news here, fill in the form at http://www.studholme.net/child/news.html It's free and reaches our 490 subscribers.
