News Save Money and Support CPCUG! Entertainment discount coupon books for 2008 are here. It's time for CPCUG members and volunteers to help CPCUG raise much-needed funds by selling books to friends, neighbors, and colleagues—and buying books for themselves. These books offer hundreds of discount opportunities on dining (usually two-for-one deals, or buy one and get one free), travel (airline, hotel, and car rental), shopping, sporting events, theater, movies, dry cleaning, auto repair, and much more. These aren't the kind of "discount" that requires spending extra money, buying things you wouldn't have bought, to "save" money. These are real-life discounts available on routine everyday purchases. The books are great, I've saved hundreds of dollars each year for many years. These are real discounts on everyday purchases, not requiring special, additional, or oddball expenditures. As always, CPCUG earns a percentage of our book sale revenues—and the more we sell, the higher the percentage earned. Selling books isn't hard, they nearly sell themselves. We sell two local editions: DC/VA and DC/MD, both $25/copy. Orders for out-of-town books (covering most major cities in North America) can be placed online with CPCUG receiving credit for such sales. The key to making sales is offering books early—which we can do since we'll be among the first groups in the area to have books. Don't wait until people have already bought books to try to sell them. Here's What To Do Get ready to buy books for yourself, your family, colleagues, and neighbors, and as gifts. Books will be available at many CPCUG meetings from early August through December 31. Let me know by e-mail if you'd like to sell or buy books so we can work out details. It's especially important to let me know that you'd like to help sell books so I can order enough books for everyone. Encourage people you know in other cities to buy books through CPCUG. It's simple, it takes just a few online steps, and it earns money for CPCUG. The good news is that it's easier than before to sell books online, and for people to buy books online, with CPCUG getting credit for the books. When you want books other than the MD/DC and VA/DC editions that CPCUG is selling on the spot at CPCUG events and elsewhere in the local DC area, perhaps for relatives and friends, for colleagues, and for your own vacations, you can order online by visiting http://www.entertainment.com/support Enter CPCUG's Group ID Number: 534389 Enter desired Zip/Postal Code or city in the "See where you can save—just enter your zip or city/state below" field Click Buy The Book or View All Books to order more books or to change the selection.
