LISTSERV 16.0 - PARKINSN Archives

This is just a note to let all of you out there know of a new on-line =
service with which the PDF has recently partnered. It's an on-line =
shopping club.

I was rather hesitant when I was first approached by the salesman for =
the site. But, the more I learned about why they set up this business, =
how they plan to run it and their current successes, I was convinced.

The site is called www.mrgoodbucks.com and is linked to the PDF site =
(located at www.pdf.org). They have a wide variety of quality, =
well-known stores from which you can purchase items - from low-cost to =
high-cost and everything in between. Buy for your office or for your =
home, garden and pets. Everything is delivered right to your door =
(helpful if you can't or don't want to go to a mall and then carry home =
your purchases). Unlike other on-line shopping clubs, there is no =
minimum purchase required either per sale or per year.

AND, 15% of every purchase can be directed as a donation to your =
favorite charity - as chosen from their list of beneficiaries - in this =
case, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. In fact, this month, we're =
the "default" charity (if someone doesn't specify a charity, their 15% =
goes to us). Pretty neat, eh?

So, I'm asking those who do buy on-line or who are thinking of trying it =
out to go through mrgoodbucks.com. The people who run the site are a =
good bunch of individuals (one of the founders' Fathers has PD). It's a =
good way to support PD research.

Anyway, enough advertising. It just seemed like a good partnership and =
something that might be worthwhile to pass along.
