This is the start of a new era. Buy Local Clark County is going to change the way people think, shop, and even invest! First: get 100 member businesses, then create a brochure, and "Platinum card" with instant savings of over $1000 total, to be sold for only $20. The most challenging has been the local newspapers, but we may even start our own. What the heck, create your own media. To their credit, The Vancouver Voice has been very supportive, and so friendly, they don't even seem like a newspaper, more like real nice neighbors. They published my first letter to the editor, without editing out a single word, then did a write up about our food drive! The drop off locations for that (through december 31st), is Bentley's Jewelry, in East Vancouver, 7 days a week, between 1 and 6 PM.
Right now I am making a list of businesses to contact with this proposal. Picking the first board of directors may be the hardest part in all this, but making it larger would be most democratic, and that is a key value in this campaign, which appeals to persons of all political bents. Let me know what you think. Check back often, as the adventure continues.....
