Frances Ndorongo, also known as CES, being a past member of the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal, has agreed to offer a contribution to the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal in support of our work with youth. Her previous involvement with the Club has positioned her to gain a positive sense of worth in her life and she therefore would like to give back. CES Music will provide a donation from the revenues received from the new CD entitled “Lets Get It” in the amount of $1.00 per CD for each $5.00 donation received.
Pick up your copy of CES's CD at the Boys & Girls Club, Harmony Salon & Day Spa (405 East Locust Street, Bloomington) and at Avenue 9 (# 3 Finance Way, Bloomington).

An easy way to help the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomingnton-Normal is through a new Yahoo!-powered search engine and online shopping mall and called GoodSearch.com. GoodSearch will make a donation to the Club every time you search the internet and every time you purchase something at one of their partner merchants (including Target, Gap, ebay, Macy’s, BestBuy, Barnes & Noble and hundreds more)! It doesn't cost you a thing — the money comes from the advertisers and the stores. So start searching!!!
