The Barnes and Noble
Fundraiser for Santa Maria Urban Ministry
is coming soon! This fundraiser is to collect money to finish the SMUM playground.
Since 1983 SMUM has provided basic services in the inner city
of San Jose, CA: both short-term needs such as food, clothing and transportation,
and long-term transformation through education, counseling, and after-school
and seasonal programs. SMUM serves the needs of the community and promotes
self-sufficiency. My husband and I are volunteers for SMUM’s Studio 17
after school homework and computer lab club – this is a great program!
Shop at the five Barnes and Noble stores in the San Jose area (Almaden,
Gilroy, Westgate, Pruneyard, and Stevens Creek) on
Monday, October 6. Invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
If you are unable to shop on that day, you can place an order by phone at
any time from now until closing on October 6. (Be sure to mention that this
is part of the fundraiser for SMUM.) Present this voucher at Barnes and Noble
when making your purchase on 6 October:
