P.S. (prior script?) Happy Valentines Day!  I am so excited to announce my first formed fund raiser ever and it is with New York Cares! They have a heart in their logo! And it’s Valentines Day. Feels like fate…

Good day! I am excited to work with New York Cares in this fund-raising endeavor! How this fund-raising event will work is that 75% of all donations received will be routed to the library program.

Please, while visiting my website I invite you to please take a look around and I do hope you enjoy your experience within my cozy corner of the internet.

Fun perks, of which there are many, but not limited to the following… Donations made between the increments of $30 and $54, will unlock the perks of being a level one member for a 6-month period. Level 1 is a super fun and super entertaining way to while away some spare time. How in the world will the perks of a level 1 membership so wildly enrich and enhancement my life?  The answer is the door to communicating with fellow bibliophiles will be opened and you will enter a world so rich in love of literature you may just want to kick back and get cozy with it. Everyone can read the public reviews, but it takes a level 1 membership to engage, and will be yours as a perk of showing your support to New York Cares. Donations of $55 or more will really get your enjoyment levels topping out at maximum enjoyability when the perks of level 2 are unlocked for a 6-month duration, you may not only partake in conversations about great literature, but you can be the one initiating them on your own personal blog. That’s right even you can join our community of bloggists through your generous support. What is a personal blog? You may ask? It is a way for you to review your favorite books and authors to share with the world of Danyelle’s Cozy Corner. Com. I also use mine as a book journal. I read between 3-5 books a week, on average, and have a hard time keeping all the stories and authors straight in my head so when it comes time to request my next round of stories from my local library I can easily see what I thought of an author/ manuscript via the handy dandy search bar. As you may expect you can just plug in the name of an author and all related content will be searched through and presented to you. Much as a search bar does.

Warning: dangers of loss of time due to engrossing conversations exist, high excitement levels abound as you dive into deep conversations revolving around dissecting great (and sometimes not great) story lines.

New York Cares is a magnificent organization, and I am excited to provide an innovative, fun and entertainment-filled way of lending a helping hand to our local communities. Every month one program will be chosen to donate the fund raiser moneys towards, depending on their current needs. Every calendar month I will total the tallies and will forward the details to be shared on New York Cares’ social media as well as on Danyelle’s Cozy Corner. Com newsletter. (If you are not signed up already for the newsletter, you may do so, here) Every calendar month will be in competition with previous months’ accruals as a fun way to attempt to outdo ourselves.

And now! With no further ado, may I present to you, New York Cares!

P.S. (post script) I want to send a shout-out to the Lena Public Library. Without your support and choice of fantastic reading materials this venture would have never come to fruition.
