<DIV>Hi Sheri,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm still receiving e-mails etc via the listserve and enjoying them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I thought you might be interested in a project that began in Myrtle Creek/Tri City about 6 months ago. You may have read about it in the Chamber newsletter I send you each month. We have our own CASH MOB and it is working well to help give an extra added "boost" to a selected business each month, in fact the program here has already won an award from a national non-profit. When you have a bit of spare time (I know, when is that?) visit FaceBook page: <STRONG><EM>Cash Mob Myrtle Creek/Tri City</EM></STRONG> to learn more about it & see some photos. While it is not a Main Street Myrtle Creek Association project, the CASH MOBS are helping some Main Street and downtown businesses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know what you think...</DIV>
