This Week: The First Ever Thousand Buck Thursday!

As we all know, our entire city, and in particular, Dearborn businesses have had a rough ride the past few years.

As you also know, I started Network Dearborn a couple of years ago as an online way to support local business and connect people with the products and services they need in our city.

Starting this Thursday, let's take it up another notch.

I'd like to introduce a new monthly feature sponsored by Network Dearborn: Thousand Buck Thursdays.


How does it work? I'm encouraging everyone to make a concerted effort to shop in Dearborn on the third Thursday of every month. Then, I'm asking that you come back to this blog and post what you bought, where you bought it and how much you spent.

Our goal each Thousand Buck Thursday will be to count up $1,000 that has been intentionally injected into our Dearborn business community. Maybe we fall short of that goal, maybe we smash right through it. I don't know.

But I do know that it can't hurt.

As a thank you for your support, one poster on the blog will win a Dearborn T-shirt every Thousand Buck Thursday.

So, what can you do to help? Glad you asked.

1) Remember to go out of your way to spend money at local Dearborn businesses (Network Dearborn businesses especially!) on every Thousand Buck Thursdays. It can even be $1!

2) Visit this blog later that day and share with the rest of us what you bought, where you bought it and how much you spent.

3) Tell your friends and family to do the same and share our blog address with them so we can all get in on the fun.

Thanks for your time and support. We all benefit when we support Dearborn business. Please forward a link to this blog to your Dearborn family and friends!
