11 October - Buy Books at Barnes & Noble

Santa Maria Urban Ministry (SMUM) provides basic services in the inner city of San Jose, CA: both short-term needs such as food, clothing and transportation, and long-term transformation through education, counseling, and after-school and seasonal programs. SMUM's programs have continued without interruption since 1983. SMUM serves the needs of the community and promotes self-sufficiency.

On 11 October 2007, SMUM is partnering with Barnes and Noble to help raise money to buy and install a safe and age-appropriate playground for ABC Playtime. SMUM's classroom is small and outside activity is crucial to the growth and development of young minds and bodies.

SMUM needs your help! It is very easy – just go to South Bay Area Barnes and Noble book stores on October 11 and buy some books or music. A list of participating stores is on the SMUM webpage along with vouchers and instructions on how to place special orders.

Music and books make great Christmas gifts and this is a chance to get a jump on your holiday shopping and also support a great cause. Tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, mailman, etc. Give them a voucher and ask them to shop on that day.

Ballet Folklorico to be at the Stevens Creek (San Jose) Barnes and Noble on 11 October. They will be dancing (3 couples) at 7pm. There will be other special presentations at the store on Stevens Creek and in Gilroy at 6:30 p.m.

SMUM was founded as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real.
