THANK YOU!!
You helped us qualify for a $250,000 grant!
As of this morning, we have 257 votes, and so we qualify to go forward with the next stage of the application process.
Because this is a social media campaign, we believe the more votes we get, the better our application will look -- if you haven't voted, please vote for us! There's still time! Voting ends on June 30th.
It's three easy steps to help Apostrophe Books qualify for a Small Business Grant from Chase Bank! - Go to MissionSmallBusiness.com and log in using Facebook.
- Search for APOSTROPHE BOOKS.
- Click on the blue VOTE button next to our business name to show your support.
You can vote for more than one business, but you can only vote for Apostrophe Books once! Please vote!
This grant is just what our bookstore needs to survive this tough economy and remain a fixture in Belmont Shore!
Here are some of the innovative, creative things we hope to do with this grant:
- Give all our wonderful employees a long-overdue raise!
- Hire extra staff! We would love to bring in an Events Coordinator, an Office Assistant, and two or three more Sales Associates.
- Be more involved in our community! We will be able to take on more fundraisers for schools, libraries and other organizations.
- Host more special events at our store! We could add weekly story time, additional book clubs, bigger author events, and much, much more!
- Increase and diversify our inventory! Some of our book sections need expanding, and we could add magazines and periodicals to our stock.
And . . . this is just the beginning! Invest in your community and vote for Apostrophe Books! Thank you!
