First Donation: Christmas for the Children

I want to give a big shout-out to Dempsey Howard of the City Guide for Smyrna and LaVergne (he also has a City Guide for Nashville and Murfreesboro). This is an online directory for local busineses to advertise their services for our town folk. It is a commercial site, but a very handy directory when you're looking for information like where to find a wedding planner, a church, dentist, bail bondsman, etc. Dempsey has offered to donate $5 for every ad he sells in October and November.

And while you're checking out the City Guides, go to his local online auction called EBiddit (you'll see his frog saying "ebiddit ebiddit" instead of "ribbit ribbit"). Right now you can bid on a size 8 wedding dress, a hanging lamp, a direct TV satellite system, and more. Interesting stuff.

Our thanks to Dempsey for his generous offer. Business owners, check it out. Readers, check it out and please patronize his sites so businesses will know the City Guides work.
