[Sagamore Volunteer] Communications Help

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

Rachel,

I don't think we're official yet, but kudos to you to on Fundraising
too, right?  Yay, we're gonna kick butt! ☺

I don't think we on until the end of the school year, but I'm not sure. 
But that doesn't need to slow us down. ☺

I don't know anything about Sagamore signing up for Amazon Smile.  I
think you're right that it's Amy Gabriel, the treasurer, that may have
set it up within the year.

I have setup a collaborative inbox at treasurer at sagamorehillspta.org
—the address I think she's contacted Amazon with—so we can root around
in there.  If you go to
https://groups.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/d/forum/treasurer and
sign in as sagamorehillspta at sagamorehillspta.org (I'll send you the
password later)  , you can see there's some action regarding Amazon Smile.

The Sagamore Hills PTA website has a page about fundraising
opportunities ( http://sagamorehillspta.org/fundraising ) written years
ago, so is in need up refreshing.  (Though, just the other day I did add
some entries for Casino Night and your guys' awesome Community Discount
Cards.)  I think Amazon Smile should at least be mentioned there and
maybe linked to its own page (and we can continue to think about how we
can better present that information).  If you want to do it, there are
instructions at http://sagamorehillspta.org/website , or if you just
want to send me some copy I'll post it.

With info on our website about how folks can support Sagamore Hills
through Amazon Smile, we can then ask current Communications, Nancy
Shober, ( communications at sagamorehillspta.org ), to put a blurb in the
Wildcat.
