In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a celebration of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes an annual national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
In many countries, the working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday, and their efforts largely succeeded. In the United States and Canada, however, the official holiday for workers is Labor Day in September. This day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, US President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus, in 1887, it was established as an official holiday in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored.
The 2013 Labor Day celebrations may be a bit muted. While the economy appears to be recovering, jobs are far from plentiful. Good middle class jobs just don’t pay as well or have the hours and benefits they did before. Progress is being made and many indicators point to continued improvement.
Many of us will be out celebrating the end of the summer school holiday. Here in the Phoenix metro area we know that a few days near 110 degrees are still possible. We face the month of September with nearly all days well over the century mark temperature wise. Here is a comment that seems to capture what most folks think of this holiday. Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that holiday name was already taken.
The holiday often marks the return to school, although school starting times now vary. As times have changed the back to school timing has changed and many students have already spent two to three weeks in school when Labor Day rolls around.
The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations", followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the civil significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the Labor movement.

Yes, I know that all snowflakes are uniquely different. The way nature grows snowflakes means they are all different. Pretty much the same can be said about humans, we are all different.
Sure, you can argue that being different and unique you can assume that humans and snowflakes are all different and unique.
You might even argue that being unique you could substitute the word special and maintain the same meaning. But can you? If you want to stand out in the world you need to be more than just different. Two people could have a very similar build and be of the same age, but with different hair color and you could say they are different. They actually could be different in many ways. And yes, they would be, well, different.
But what makes one person special when compared to another person? Not just different in one or many ways, but for one of them to be special and stand out. Perhaps we might want to say stand out or stand above the rest. I’m sure you have heard the term “stand out from the heard.”
To be special means that you have something, a trait or characteristic that makes you stand out from the crowd. You do something in a way that makes people remember you. You do something that makes people feel better about themselves. You do something that makes people accept your point of view. You do something that causes people to follow your lead. That is what is generally recognized as being special.
Some people are special in such a way that we can say they are very special. We aren’t talking about celebrity status here. Today with the media and the Internet feeding the fan frenzy people often mistake celebrity status for special qualities. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Special people don’t entertain us, they get things done. They help other people accomplish their own goals. They reach out and make a difference in people’s lives. They work for people with little expectation for rewards or return.
At Sunset Coupon Books we understand those very special snowflakes and we want to help them reach their goals. At a local level we understand how hard you have to work to raise funds for you School, Sports Team, Youth Group, Church or other Non-profits.

However, just being nice and asking for donations for your school’s group isn’t very effective. People who are new to fundraising find that out very fast. You start out full of enthusiasm. You know how great your program is and how much the children benefit from it. You sure if you just tell people of your need they will be glad for the opportunity to help and donate a fair amount.
Well, you soon find that reality is very different. Most who do promise never seem to get around to making that promised donation.
This seems to be related to a story about a Judge that was elected to the bench in a small town. During a get together following the election he was asked to comment on the light voter turn out. His comments went something like this, “I would like to thank the 427 people who promised to vote for me as well as the 310 people who claimed they did vote for me. But especially I want to thanks the 47 people who actually did cast a vote and of course I can’t forget to mention the 24 who did vote for me.”
Many people make promises to donate but much fewer actually do it. Things come up, people forget and there are many pressures on family budgets these days.
Also the “what’s in it for me” attitude can be part of the problem as well. That is why the Sunset Coupon program works so well. The offer you make to the buyer is very simple “a trade.” They are giving you $10 dollars and besides feeling good for helping your group out they get $400 dollars in value for dining out and entertainment they will really use.

Do you wish to be a fundraising success? What follows are some points to consider when starting you next fundraising drive.
Don’t fall victim to self-centered thinking. You see, ordinary fundraisers judge the quality of their work with this principle: If I like it, it's good; if I don't like it, it's bad. It is a dungeon of their own making. Because what they like and dislike reveals almost nothing about effectiveness.
The people we are communicating with in fundraising are not us. We are different in key demographic, psychographic and attitudinal ways. Using your own taste to judge is like using a thermometer to learn if the soup has the right amount of salt in it.
Keep your target market in mind. They just may be a few decades behind the times in their communications and design styles. This gives them power, because fundraising is aimed overwhelmingly at older people. That is the group who gives the most.
What looks corny and dated to young people like you and (ahem) me often looks comfortable and appropriate to donors. Design we like is often confusing and unattractive to older donors.
People may snicker at your old-fashioned ways, but it works. While everyone else is laboring to get random people to "like" them on Facebook the fundraising expert is cranking out corny, old direct mail and raising a ton of money.
Tell a great story. Even the most clumsy marketer knows how important stories are in fundraising. The best of the marketers knows a deeper truth: Everything is a story. That is, everything should be a story.
A typical fundraising story is one that illustrates in a human and emotional way the need for the donor's gift and the impact the gift will have. That's just one kind of story. There are others:
A good deal (like matching funds) can be a great story if written like one.
A looming deadline can be a gripping narrative in the hands of a strong writer.
And then there's the best story of all: The donor's history of generosity.
All of these things can be emotional, powerful stories. You just have to write them that way.

If you plan on doing fundraising for your group, team, church, non-profit or school or say the next four years you want to make sure you don’t burn your bridges. You don’t want your friends, family, co-workers or those your meet in day-to-day life to avoid you or actually ask you to go somewhere else.
Many web site guides to fund raiser list many places to raise money and if you follow those ideas you will soon find yourself shunned like a pariah.
Here some examples of what I mean.
6. Waiters: Ask the waiter/waitress or bartender at your favorite hangout to donate a day's tips. If you have a friend who waits or bartends, ask them, too.
14. Ask your doctor(s), dentist and veterinarian for a donation.
15. Ask your chiropractor and therapist for a donation.
16. Ask your yoga instructor or personal trainer for a donation.
17. Ask your lawyer and insurance agent for a donation.
18. Ask your auto mechanic or dry cleaner for a donation, or for coupons that you can use at a fundraising party or raffle.
If you try these more than once you will find that people are running away from your rather than offering to help. Folks in service business will feel that your donation request is tied to them getting future from you and that puts them in a very awkward position.
Instead for you next fundraiser thin about using Sunset Coupon Books and give folks a real reason to work with you. After all Sunset Coupon Books saves them money on things they do everyday.

This should sound familiar, your group needs to raise funds for the coming year. Perhaps you need to raise even more money this year than you have in the past. You are looking around for something to sell to help you raise those funds. One thing you might consider is candy bars versus Sunset Coupon Books.
In general you can find $2.00 chocolate bars that give your group a one dollar profit for each one sold. To raise $2,000 dollars you need to sell 2,000 candy bars. Consider that right now the sales of sweets are down overall. People are more health conscious now than ever before and really do try to eat healthier products.
Now consider Sunset Coupons, each book sold raises $5.00 for your group. To raise $2,000 you will sell just 400 coupon books. If your charity, non-profit, team or church were to sell 2,000 Sunset Coupon Books your group would raise $10,000.
The person making the purchase will have a wide variety of coupons to choose from. Sunset Coupon Books contain over $400 dollars in savings and promotions from local merchants. The savings enjoyed from using just one or two coupons will more than pay for the books. And who doesn’t need to save money these days?
