Symphony now offers online shopping & contributions

*

(Coffee mug is one of many PSO items available online.)

The Plainfield Symphony is now offering online shopping through its website, say PSO board members Pat Ballard Fox and Duncan Alexander, who also serves as the group's treasurer.

The service, begun several weeks ago, has already generated sales and income for the 87-year-old community orchestra, the oldest in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the country.

The new shopping choices include a PSO 'store' at CafePress, the megasite for nonprofits to market their merchandise, and a link to Barnes & Noble's online bookstore. (Ballard Fox notes that for the Symphony to get credit for any book orders made, a shopper MUST enter the B&N site through the link, and not just by going to the general B&N home page.)

Links to the shopping services are on the PSO website's front page, where you can also find links to the Symphony's current season's performance schedule and ticket purchase options, plus news of the PSO and contacts for the organization.

Donors can also make ONLINE CONTRIBUTIONS via the secure servers of JustGive, an online fundraising service for nonprofit organizations. The direct link for contributions to the Plainfield Symphony Orchestra is here.

Have a PSO fan or classical music lover at your house? You can order the perfect gifts here -- from mugs and teddy bears to all kinds of apparel.

Check it out.
