Making Money, Helping Kids


Congratulations to Jennifer Smith Avellino for working her business! She became a consultant with Usborne Books At Home in December of 2007. Within seven months she had recruited five people and made the sales necessary to be promoted to a supervisor. But she hasn't stopped there. She began a partnership with Seattle Children's Hospital to have companies donate money to the hospital which in turn is used to purchase new books from Usborne to give to patients. Usborne provides a matching grant of 50% more in books, so a $1000 donation becomes $1500 in books.
Now Jen is in her final weeks of preparing for the Children's Hospital Trilogy Guild Fundraiser and is hoping that it will be a huge success!

All of Jennifer's hard work is paying off. In July she attended the Usborne National Convention and was named "New Consultant of the Year-Honorable Mention."

If you want to check up on Jennifer or check out Usborne books for your children or for gifts, go to her website.

Way to go, Jen! And best of luck with your fundraiser. Let us know how it goes!
