Need a fundraising idea for your society? The Clallam County Genealogical society in Port Angeles, Washington, has a dandy idea to share.

The roof of this little blue plastic “piggy” bank reads: “Help Pay Off the Mortgage”  “When I’m full, bring me to the Clallam Co Genealogical Society, 360-417-5000.”

According to Virginia “Ginny” Majewski, past president of CCGS, this little idea is really working well. “The funds are coming in,” she told me with a smile. “These can be purchased very cheaply, even with a printed slogan or logo,” she added.

Ask “Grandma” Google for help with these. Perhaps it’s an idea that will fit your society’s needs??
