Hello All,

This is a fundraising idea that I am going to promote to my
local PTO, as I am I have a little one entering
kindergarten, that could raise significant funds for your
projects and promote local businesses.

This past year I started a project where I promote local
businesses to travelers that would otherwise not know about
a business prior to arriving in a city, etc. The site
allows users to create custom travel guides with only those
listings that you want to include in a trip, as well as
lets people do a quick search in a city...if they are
trying to plan a night out on the town, etc. The site is
www.mjguides.com and we are currently getting about 8,500
views a day and about 27,000 daily hits.

When the site launched I was strictly using Sales people
and paying commissions for listings sold, and am now
considering moving it into a Fundraiser type of environment
too. Essentially companies get a listing in the online
city guide for 5 years, and the ads only cost $200
(essentially 11 cents a day). We have been paying
commissions of $100 for any listings that have been sold.
If there is a teacher, or group, that would like to discuss
selling these listings as a fundraiser I will be happy to
pay $125 for every listings sold. Drop me a line at
mheisman@mjguides.com to discuss. Sales can start
immediately, and payments can be transferred immediately
via PayPal or weekly via check. An overview of these
listings can be found at
