Dear AJLers, I've got some exciting news to share! AJL's PR chair, Danielle Winter, has set us up with a GoodSearch account. This is a service that allows us to raise money very painlessly, through donations made to us every time a user does an Internet search. There are also options to generate donations through online shopping, playing online games, and more. While the amounts raise are small, they can be steady and ongoing. I've started using GoodSearch instead of Google, so I've been raising money this week without even having to think about it.
I am asking each of you, as someone who cares about AJL, to install the GoodSearch toolbar on your own computer and start using it for your Internet searches. Please also explore GoodSearch's other options to see if they may be useful to you (shopping, dining, etc.). Next, I am asking each of you to spread the word to your colleagues inside and outside of AJL. Perhaps you can get others within your organization to use GoodSearch and help AJL, maybe family members and friends might be interested in helping. The more people use it, the more money we raise. Here's how it works: Download the toolbar for Internet Explorer or Firefox at http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/association-of-jewish-libraries. If you're a Chrome user, the "omnibox" searches will automatically start using GoodSearch. Each time you do an Internet search, about a penny is donated to AJL. You can also shop online at more than 2,500 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle) and a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to AJL - at no cost to you (and you may even save money as the app provides coupons and deals as well!). In addition, there are options to generate donations through dining in participating restaurants, playing online games, and more. Don't forget, get the toolbar at http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/association-of-jewish-libraries Thanks to all of you for using GoodSearch to help AJL!
