Only Eight Days left to Christmas!

If you have any thoughts about getting an Andando Gift for Christmas, now is the time, as the 25th is drawing near. We've had good sales in December, even with the recent snow and ice. We value our customers and we think they are pretty unique. Our balafons are a fantastic gift! Also, we have a terrific selection of nativity scenes.

It's A Busy Time of Year

Quiz time - What's the difference between Bazarr and Bizarre?

Okay, so here's a sample sentence that may give you an illustration: I went to a semi temporary market with lots of stalls selling a variety of very unusual and offbeat articles that were way out of the mainstream. I went to a bizarre bazarr. So who got the answer right? Will you make it as a contestant on Jeopardy?

This time of year, we have been taking advantage of opportunities to sell wonderful Andando articles at one Bazarr after another. These are pictures of some of the activity. Also, the shop has been pretty busy.

And the Christmas Catalog has been generating a lot of buzz. Like people are noticing that it's pretty cool and worthwhile, and feeling like they want to be a part of it. Ain't life grand?

Don't Miss Out!

Our Christmas Catalog has met with great success! Everyone is jumping on the band wagon, and you don't want to miss this chance to give something with meaning. It doesn't have to cost much, and it's so easy. Call 541-754-6246 to get your copy of the catalog. You can even contribute on-line with Pay Pal. Hey, it's what people are doing these days ... find out why this lady is smiling!

The Christmas Catalog

Andando has published a Christmas Catalog - here's how it works - you can buy a present for someone and give it to someone else. In other words, you buy something of a humanitarian nature to help those underprivileged overseas, and give in on behalf of your friend or recipient.
For example, you want to give your Aunt Ethyl a gift for Christmas, but she already has everything she needs, and you don't want to give her another trinket, so you purchase a feeding sponsorship for a village in Africa, and you send it in her name and she is thrilled to be a part of this effort and proud that her name is associated with such a fine endeavor!

Andando Grows on the Internet

In the matter of a few short days, there has been a growing presence of Andando on the World Wide Web, otherwise knows as http://www.....com/ or the web, or the internet, or online, or whatever you may choose to call it.

Son Lewis has now put up a facebook page at The Andando Foundation as a facebook group, I'll trust that you know how to find this, if not, sent a note and we'll help you.

The picture above is from Senegal, in West Africa, where we went recently and found out to our delight that there was a local mobile phone store with a promotion going on - and since Andando is an African word, they were using it on their t-shirts for their promotion (with an extra "O" at the end).
