Buy Ward 7 & 8 Challenge - Put your money where your home is!
With all the Barry drama The Advoc8te has been remiss in posting this. It is an excellent idea that was created by a great River East (representing Ward 7) blogger Ms. V over at http://fairfaxvillage.blogspot.com/Life In The Village. Ms. V. tracks her daily River East spending on her blog - excellent idea. I may have to track my River East spending the same way . If you haven't yet paid a visit to Life In The Village please do - it's a great blog!July 1st, 2009

Good Morning Neighbors,
Today starts the impromptu Buy Ward 7 and 8 Challenge. For the entire month of July, try to ONLY spend your hard earned dollars in Ward 7 and 8. As one resident suggested, if you can't find the brands that you need, don't be afraid to contact the store manager/owner and request what you need. Please keep track of how much you spent for the month.
Someone emailed me suggesting that the participants meet in early August to talk about the challenge, so stay tuned for more information on that. (To get you started check out the business listings at www.dhmainstreets.org and www.ward7bpa.org.)
