Just passing on some very important information to share with you a special invitation from our very own MaryAnn. Since we are all such book connoisseurs, it would be wonderful if we could come out this Saturday afternoon in a show of solidarity, and to help a local lady business owner do her thing. Here's a copy of the info MaryAnn sent out and please just call me or hit me up by email if you have any questions. Hoping to see the Vellum & Vino Vixens represent!
What's a Cash Mob?
"The general idea is to encourage people to go into
small, local businesses and spend their money, en masse, to give the business
owner a little bit of economic stimulus. We’d help businesses grow, we’d make
people happy, we’d get stuff for ourselves, have a great time, and maybe we’d
get a drink to celebrate afterward."

Join the mob at Underground Books,
35th Street & Broadway in Oak Park, Sacramento, CA, Saturday, June 23. Aim to arrive between 4:30 and 5:00; stay as
long as 6:00. Old Soul Coffee is next
door. Park on surrounding streets if
possible (there's a small parking lot shared by several tenants in the block).
I love our local bookstores, but this one pulls together
a unique collection of books for all ages, as well as greeting cards, t-shirts,
and more in a comfortable setting. Take
a break from Amazon, find something you love, and support this local gem with
your purchase.
Think - Flash Mob with intent to buy. Here's an example of a Flash Mob out of Ohio State University -Go BUCKS!
Okay okay, so no, we're not gonna make you sing and dance in the streets. This is a cash mob, remember?
Here is the original cash mob from a Cleveland lawyer (I'm on an Ohio kick!!) coverage from CNN.
Remember: The shop owner is not organizing this and knows nothing about it, so contact MaryAnn or I for more details!!
Please post this on your Facebook wall and forward it to
all your book-loving (and book-buying) friends!
Talk, text, Twitter. Make it a
mob. See you there!
