Fundraise with the Entertainment Book
|
Every year, my wife and I look forward to using the Entertainment Book to save money when going out to eat. We prefer to use restaurants that offer coupons in the book. So, it not only benefits the business advertising in the book, it offers real savings to the user. We've saved exponentially more than what we paid for the book. You might find this fundraiser to be a winner for your church every year. |
NEW Science / Lab Decorations
 |
You don't have to be an Einstein to decorate for your Lab VBS this summer! We've recently added new bulletin board sets, trimmers, accents, wall decorations, and more to help you create your scientific atmosphere.

Cute Kid?
|
|
"The CuteKid™ is more then just another Online Baby Photo Contest site; we are a brand, a clothing line and proud parents of our own children."
The company was founded by a group of internet professionals who happen to be proud new parents. Hence CuteKid™ was born… Since then, the company has grown to one of the largest Online Baby Photo Contest sites. The original cute baby contests have grown to become known as "The CuteKid™ of the Year".
Their database of cute babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, big-kid's and pre-teens have become a resource for many talent seekers. Feel free to enter any of your child photos in their monthly online baby photo contest. Every winner will be automatically entered into the "2008 CuteKid™ of the Year" photo contest, for a chance to win a year's College Tuition and Unique Industry Exposure. |

Bouncers
|
I remember one of my first VBS promotional events. We tied in VBS in with our community-wide fellowship barbecue event. Along with the food, I rented a medium-size bounce house that could hold a small group of children. I remember the blast the kids had with it, but also the pain it was to pick up, transport, and return it before I was charged an extra day for being late.
Now, I can buy a bouncer for the same price as a few rentals and use it whenever I want. With proper setup and supervision, bouncers can make any event a success in the eyes of our kids. Take a look at the prices at Blast Zone. |

Don't Worry, Be Happy!
|
Shortly after I started using Carbonite, my wife told me how one of our friend's home had been burglarized. One of the valuables the thieves stole was their home computer...with EVERYTHING on it. All of their photos, personal and financial files were gone. A similar tragic story that happened several years ago was when a key office computer at my work was hacked into. Some important programs and files were completely destroyed.
What would you do if this happened to your computer? While using an expensive external hard drive for my computer's backup, I searched for a simple, practical and inexpensive solution. Carbonite fit the bill. I can automatically backup my whole computer for $5 a month. Not bad! If you don't have a backup solution for your home or church computer, you need to get this. You even get to try it for free! |
Customizable Candy & Other Great Stuff
|
We've been searching for a creative and unique way to promote Vacation Bible Schools and we found this! Not only can you customize your own candy bars to tell others about your VBS or to give them to your leaders as "thank-you's", but you can also create your own candy fundraiser. Not only candy, but you can also make newsletters, greeting cards, mint books, and more! You can use this inexpensive service for your church or turn it into a small business.
