SPAM in your EMAIL? . .

When you send guild-related email to any member, include the guild initials WHQG in the subject line.  That way recipients will not hit delete without readying your message - maybe thinking that you are trying to sell health-enhancing drugs or the latest stock tips.

Ways and Means Committee

GOODSEARCH

GoodShop: You Shop...We Give!West Houston Quilters Guild earns a donation every time you search the Internet. We also earn a percentage of every purchase you make online using the GoodShop.com  search.

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you'll be supporting your favorite cause.

And if you download the GoodSearch  - West Houston Quilters Guild toolbar, our cause will earn money every time you shop and search online - even if you forget to go to GoodShop or GoodSearch first! Add the West Houston Quilters Guild toolbar at http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/west-houston-quilters-guild


Turn Trash into Cash!

We can earn $$ collecting empty inkjet printer cartridges.  Start saving those cartridges from home, family, and friends and bring them to Guild meetings (or just give to Betty Baker) who is coordinating this effort as part of the new Ways and Means Committee.

It's a simple and easy way to help your planet and WHQG; just Recycle your used Inkjet Cartridges and help us raise money!.  The types of cartridges we are looking for are: HP, Lexmark and Dell.  So please help by recycling your cartridges today!  We cannot use laser toner cartridges at this time.  If you have any questions, just ask Betty Baker. Thanks for your support!

Empties 4 Cash - Which Cartridges

For cartridges to qualify for payment, they must:

Be OEM, original manufacturer's brand such as HP, Lexmark, Dell, Canon and Sharp only.

They cannot be damaged, remanufactured, refilled, or ink tanks (without print head).
