Editor's Note - Starting The Year
I wanted to let you know that all of our previous e-zines are
now located in an archive at the ProfitQuests.com site.
Archives can now be easily accessed at our
Newsletter section.
On another note, we are putting together many more FREE
ideas on fundraising to kick off 2003. So, stay tuned.
I'm introducing a painless fundraiser --
AllBizSupplies.com.
Most of your supporters need office or school supplies, so
we are giving you a way to thank your supporters by
introducing them to deeply discounted office supplies.
Those groups and individuals that help us get this fundraising
concept moving forward, will have the ability to receive 3%
of all sales generated.
As long as you participate and those that sign up to support
you continue buying office supplies from AllBizSupplies.com,
you'll receive a check. That's month after month....year
after year. It can really add up over the months ahead.
You can also buy your own office or school supplies and earn
commissions personally or to support your favorite nonprofit
organization, ministry, club or association. So the more you
tell others, the more you receive.
Keeping In Touch (KIT) brings you straight forward
articles, helpful hints, suggestions, interaction with
subscribers and more. Helping you build your home-based
business one step at a time.

Now for the first time anywhere in the fundraising world, we
would like to introduce you to The Smart Bookmark Fundraiser.
This fundraising product appeals to millions of readers and
is an easy sell. You make over 50% profits.
A Smart Bookmark allows a reader to mark the exact sentence
where they left off reading a book, magazine or document.
Bookstores like Books-A-Million and Barnes And Noble are
making quite an impact on their own sales with these handy
bookmarks. They are very popular right now.
You can choose to get a minimum 250 order of the standard
Smart Bookmark or you can get your group a personalized
custom order (minimum 1,000) with your own name, phone
number and web address on the reverse.
They are also great for businesses promoting their services.
Call us today at 888-272-4540 and allow us to help you get
a standard Smart Bookmark or your own personalized
Smart Bookmark now.

A special note for all of those starting a ForeFund Golf
Marathon this spring.
Our marathons take about 12 weeks to plan. So if you are
planning a golf marathon this spring, then you should get
started now. Call us at 888-272-4540 now to register.
For those of you that have not signed up to conduct a golf
marathon, you really should. Why? This is a fairly fast
means to generate tens of thousands of dollars in funds with
minimum effort.
You may ask what kind of minimum effort? Well, golf
marathons are much less complicated than golf tournaments.
The concept of a marathon relies on the players helping raise
the money in a simple fashion as opposed to organizing a
committee and creating a complicated structure.
You secure many $50's and $100's rather than a few entry
fees of $1,000 or more. You gather many donors rather than
a select few.
Let me encourage you to call us if you want to generate tens
of thousands of dollars for your cause. Find out more about
ForeFund Golf Marathons now.

aspects of charitable giving by taking you through the rules

forms, instructions, and relevant IRS publications. In fact,
this is really a library in its own right.
After reading through their tips, you will probably come up
with some new ways to approach some of your donors that
will benefit them, as well as, benefit your organization.
Some of your donors may even thank you for bringing a
charitable tax tip to their attention. Think about it.
