Planning to join the spending throngs on Friday and support the local economy by buying holiday gifts? If so, GoodNewsPDX recommends visiting the Barnes and Noble locations at Lloyd Center and Clackamas Town Center. These two fine establishments of literature, music, film and espresso will be donating some of their proceeds to benefit SMART (the local organization that helps children through the written word).
Simply tell your cashier you are with SMART and some of your hard spent money will be sent off to encourage the education and reading habits of local kids.
