Happy Friday!

Hey guys! Lauren here, reporting from the frontlines of the CE- Mid Atlantic offices. It's another quiet day here, and I'm getting antsy thinking about the long weekend coming up! Anybody have any great Labor Day weekend plans? I'm headed to a wedding tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the weekend is going to be labor-free, know what I mean? I always hate when I book so much stuff on the weekends, especially long ones, and don't give myself a chance to relax. Heck, I might even turn off the Blackberry! (Doubt it, but the thought's still there, right?)

Speaking of doing nothing, did you know there's a way to help support Christian Endeavor without basically having to anything? You might have to lift a finger or two, but if you've reached this site, you must have already lifted a couple fingers to type in the address, or click on the link; that's exactly all you'll have to do to RAISE MONEY for CE!

There is this great search engine called 'goodsearch' that is powered by yahoo that everytime you use it, it donates money to the organization of your choice! Go to goodsearch, and you'll see a grey box that says "Who Do You Search For?" Now here's the easy part: ALL you have to do is type "Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor." (We're in the middle of changing our name, remember? It's still us!) Click the yellow button that says 'Verify,' and voila! You are now searching on CE's behalf!

I'll be totally honest with you guys- I love google search! Switching to use goodsearch takes such a conscious effort on my part, because it is practically ingrained in my skull to type g-o-o-g-l-e into the browser! And again- I'll be honest; I still sometimes do use google. If I need a map, or directions, I will go there. BUT FIRST, I'll go to goodsearch, and search google from there. That way, I'll have at least helped CE to benefit a little bit!

This is such a cool idea, and literally, this is just one of those things I can't stop telling people how much I love! If you've never heard about it, don't sweat it: that's why I'm here, to tell you about all the great ways you can support CE. This is the greatest way you can help CE on a regular basis- I know we have some Internet junkies out there! (I'm raisin' my hand right next to you all, so don't feel bad!)

I encourage you to start using goodsearch on a regular basis; in fact, I challenge everyone reading this to specifically use goodsearch as their only search engine this month. IMAGINE the possibilities- and the money we could raise! I'll keep you updated with how I do- let me know how you all do as well?

Have a blessed day, and safe holiday weekend!
