AmazonSmile

A special message came to us today from AmazonSmile. As you may or may not know, many area nonprofit organizations, us included, are designated beneficiaries in the AmazonSmile program. What is AmazonSmile? "AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice."

The special message is that, good for TODAY ONLY, AmazonSmile will donate 5% instead of the usual 0.5% toward the charity of your choice when you shop with them! If you have any leftover gift cards from Christmas, or have been thinking of ordering some items and just haven't gotten to it, please do so today and choose us or one of the many fine nonprofit organizations which you can find in the drop-down menu to benefit from your purchase!

Thank you!!

Great news. Customers just ranked Amazon #1 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) with a score of 86. ACSI surveyed over 10,000 customers to measure perceptions of quality and value across retailers nationwide. This comes right on the heels of movies from Amazon Studios winning three Oscars and Amazon being ranked #1 in corporate reputation by the Harris Poll.

We want to celebrate the recognition, and say thank you for your support.

On Thursday, March 16 only, we will donate 5% (10 times our usual donation rate) of the purchase price of eligible products you buy at AmazonSmile ( smile.amazon.com ) to charity. AmazonSmile is a way to shop that offers the same shopping experience as Amazon.com, but every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com helps support a charity of your choice. To date, we've donated over $46 million.

To take advantage of this offer—and to ensure that your shopping throughout the year benefits your favorite charitable organization—just start your shopping at smile.amazon.com.

Thank you. And, be assured, we'll continue working hard for you every day.
