Looking for an excuse to eat ice cream — and help a local institution? Through the end of December, Ben & Jerry's at Windward Mall will be donating 20 percent of its proceeds to the Mission Houses Museum. Bring a printable flyer to the ice cream shop; find it at www.missionhouses.org.

Interim director David Cheever stated, "We are very grateful ... Everything helps in these tough economic times."
Donations can also be made directly to the museum by calling the development office at 447-3922 or 447-3920.
