For those who may not recognize the logo of the 3/50 Project, let me explain it a bit. Very simply, choose 3 stores who you would miss if they were closed (like deborah ann's rainbow!). Make a pledge to spend $50 a month in all three stores combined (more is fine too, but at least $50). Keeping those dollars in the local economy will provide more jobs, more small businesses, and more freedom of shopping options. While we all shop at the big box stores, the backbone of America has been (and hopefully will continue to be) the small Mom-and-Pop type stores in our local neighborhoods. The grassroots support for the 3/50 Project has been incredible since its inception only one year ago. For more info, go to their website
