They say that if you stand still for too long.... the grass will grow under your feet. To that point... change is inevitable and I think a very exciting concept. This month we are moving into the next steps of the development of the greenfundraiserstore.com movement. It is a new green offshoot that has been under construction since the very beginning. Introducing to you....
"The Little Green Store..."

From day one in the development of the GFS I struggled with the decision of whether to be a "green product store" that does some great things in the way of "green shift" product offerings...
OR
to be a green product fund raising company focused on education, awareness, and advocacy for "green shifts" in the course of daily living and unique fund raising. Those of you who have followed us know that we went with the model of fund raising first model.
Today we now feel as though we can offer the best of both worlds in that those who simply want to purchase our products can do so by visiting the web page and shopping on line at and clicking SHOP NOW
http://www.greenfundraiserstore.com/
OR
for those who enjoy the Amazon shopping experience you can shop with a more limited offering at
http://www.amazon.com/shops/greenfundraiserstore
AND NOW....
You can walk in the door of The Little Green Store and see, touch, smell, taste many of the products you've seen on our web site from the beginning.
In fact... one of the new features that we rolled out in the spring of 2012 are the educational offerings we can do at your school, church, business, or any group who wants to engage in our "Shift into Green...." education sessions. By clicking on the link below.... as they used to say on Hawaii Five-O.... "Book it Dan-no..." .

Rather get out of your space and come see us? No problem as we aim to please. Bring your class to our "Little Green Store" and learn on site about how to "Shift into Green....". Our programs are fee based and intended for groups in the store to under 30 participants. At this time we are accepting reservations through the same link as above.... with remarks to indicate "Store visit" .
I can tell you that just a visit to the store will tell a unique story about "Going Green..." since there really was not much at all about this space that was green when we got a hold of it in 2006. There is so much to talk about in the changes and development of this project... but I will save the details for later.
We have not yet officially "opened" since I have been working on the final touches throughout the summer. Each day we are getting closer and will soon make an announcement to provide hours of operation. Make plans to "walk through the door... of The Little Green Store..." located at 94 S Washington, Oxford, Michigan.
We are 10 miles north of the Palace of Auburn Hills if your coming from Detroit or northern suburbs. Take the Lapeer Road Exit on I-75 and head north on Lapeer road which is also known as M 24 or Washington Street once you enter into the Village of Oxford. Use the map on the right to locate us.... ;) We are kind of easy to spot... since we are the only place I know of that has a compost tumbler and rain barrel on the front porch placed with family of scare crows. Got that? ;)
Last thing... get engaged now with our Fall fund Raising campaign by down loading the latest version of the on line brochure. Printed fund raising forms will be available at the end of the month.
In the mean time.... the leaves are falling and for what ever reason we feel the need to chase every last one down and put it in some type of bag....so... get yours now... we sell them by the bundle of 50. Great time to buy in bulk... do a class project of decorating the bags in Halloween or fall themes and then hit the streets as a unique fall fund raiser item. Bundle 3 decorated bags with natural twine... sell to family , friends, neighbors and.... just like that... your truly making the most... of your compost!
