{we're hip & with the times now + we can save you $$$}

Yes, it's official. We are hip and "with it." Why, you ask? Because Team Emily is now capable of accepting contributions online!

A big thanks to all who helped set up this slick, new online donation method! Now you can visit the Team Emily Website's contribution page {here} and quickly link up to our direct link at the NAU Foundation's secure contribution site!

Now, how schnazzy is that?!

Looking at the poll results so far, it seems like a lot of you voted to learn about ways to make your dollar stretch a bit further during this economical craziness. So here's a little holiday cheer for saving some moolah:

Have you heard about FREE SHIPPING DAY? Now you have.

Hundreds of merchants are getting together to offer FREE SHIPPING for all of your online purchases made in their online stores on 12.17.09. If you are a frequent {online} shopper and plan to do some holiday shopping, mark this date on your calendar! 12.17.09. You can see a list of all participating merchants by visiting http://www.freeshippingday.com/. Another great perk-- they guarantee you'll get it all shipped to your door by Christmas Eve!

For those of you who are looking for some great steals on Christmas wish list items, don't forget about Black Friday. You may have to elbow your way through crowds and get an extra nap in later in the day {most stores open before the crack of dawn!!}, but you'll certainly have some good stories to tell. :) Take a look at these oh-so-hot Black Friday ads by clicking here.
