GoodSearch

Many of you probably received this in an email, but if you did not here is a note from Debbie, our Executive Director:

It has been a couple of years since we asked everyone to put GoodSearch on their toolbars. GoodSearch is a way for KOB to earn donations every time you search the Internet; they have also added GoodShop which is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase. There are some great stores: Amazon, Gap, Best Buy, eBay, Macy's, and Barnes & Noble, just to name a few. I'm asking everyone to do this as there are organizations that have made $1,000 or up to $30,000 in a year. Please go to this site GoodSearch toolbar for KOB and add the toolbar to your computer. Every little bit helps, and if you do any Christmas shopping online, it may really help KOB. Thanks.

GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo! Search. It's a tiny toolbar in your Internet browsers, so give it a try. Don't be afraid to pass the link along to any other family and friends who would like to support Kids on the Block. Thanks, everyone!
