1. Remember Your Local Merchants this Season and in the New Year

Can they say it 
any plainer than that?
This is a hand written sign posted in front of my favorite local toy store, Kazoodles, in Vancouver, Washington.
SEE IT HERE
BUY IT HERE
KEEP US HERE 
They give so much back to the community, like many small brick and mortar businesses. Activities for children, support for local charities, friendly smiles and personal help for everyone who walks in. Why, they even have %10 off for all grandparents on Tuesdays. Participants are required to pull out their brag books (cellphone photos will do) for all to admire!

And then, there's my favorite independent book store, frame shop, farm fresh produce... the list goes on and on.

Who would you miss if they were gone?

The 3/50 project is all about reminding us what a difference it makes for us to patronize these brick and mortar businesses, even if it's only $50 a month.

So, please remember to SHOP LOCAL during the holidays and throghout 2012!
