Snow Days


Need a Snow Day?

Today at work I was notified of a way that each and every one of us can help those in need without any cost. It's called the Snow Days promotion, and it's really kind of cool the way they have it set up. It allows you to cut out your own snowflake online!

Below is part of the memo we received:

"Target has presented us with an additional opportunity to generate 'buzz' this Christmas season. The vendor they are using to create our joint angel tree promotion has a virtual site of their own called "Snow Days." At 'Snow Days' you can create your own snowflake, add your name and a message (messages can be anything as long as they are clean - that can include bible verses, well wishes, or favorite quotes), and tell your friends about the opportunity. It is a fun, free thing to do during the snowy Christmas season.

Popular front has agreed to donate to The Salvation Army based on thresholds. Meaning, every X number of snowflakes created (for free), they will raise the amount they are giving up to $25,000 to be split four ways. Recognizing that once this money has been split four ways, there is less to go around, this is more of an opportunity to generate additional visibility during this time of year in a fun and interactive way.

The site went live on 11/17 and will come down at midnight Central time on 12/31. I encourage you to make your Christmas a white Christmas by creating your own snowflake at www.popularfront.com/snowdays."

Please join me in helping hurting, hungry and homeless people by participating in this program. You'll be doing something good for someone in need without spending a dime! And if you DO decide to spend a dime (or more!), please remember those red kettles which are now out in front of your favorite stores.

And a gold star goes to the person (or persons) who can identify my place of employment! :0)

John 21:18
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
