September Biz of the Month: An easy way to help CJSTUF

Last night we hosted a Gold Does Good party at our house.  Even with our small turnout, we raised over $300 for CJSTUF.  How did we do it?

I went through my jewelry boxes and junk drawers and found a small box full of old, broken, unwanted jewelry and metal.  There were a few unmatched, broken earrings, some tangled chains, and a few pieces that I just didn't want or need anymore.  

Thanks to the high value of gold, sterling silver, and platinum, even these seemingly "worthless" pieces carried some great value!  We got a debit card for the value of the items (Roger and I donated most of it directly to CJSTUF instead of keeping it for ourselves) PLUS CJSTUF gets an additional 12.5%. For more information, check out our website for details. 

So now we want to know, who else is interested in

helping CJSTUF by selling your unwanted metals?

There is another Gold Does Good party hosted by Kimberly Johnson on September 17th from 7-9 PM at the Martin's Community Room at 11361 Midlothian Turnpike

We are also looking for at least one more person to host a gold party for CJSTUF.  If you are interested in hosting your own Gold Does Good party during the month of September (or any time) and donating your hostess fee to CJSTUF, please contact us. 

September Biz of the Month: Mark Your Calendars

Mark your calendars now! Our September Biz of the Month event is coming soon.

The September Biz of the Month is Gold Does Good

This time, you don't have to buy anything. Instead, we are asking you to SELL your gold, silver jewelry, and coins.

Local representative Beth Boston is helping CJSTUF. Here's how it works:

During the month of September, CJSTUF volunteers will host gold parties. You are invited to each open house and encouraged to bring your gold and other select metals (you can contact us for a complete list of qualifying items). Jewelry can be broken, tangled, or old.

You get: a debit card loaded with the full value of your qualifying gold or silver jewelry and coins.

CJSTUF gets: up to 15% of the total amount

It's that easy!

The first open house will be held:
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
5:30-8:30 PM.
9 Slash Ct., Ashland, VA.
You can come any time during the selected hours.

If you are interested in hosting your own Gold Does Good party during the month of September (or any time) and donating your hostess fee to CJSTUF, please contact us.

We will post here and on our calendar if more Gold Does Good events that benefit CJSTUF are scheduled. 

PS There's still time to book your cake with Kalico Kitchen for the August Biz of the Month.
