[Sagamore Volunteer] Communications Help

[Rachel E. Conrad]

Amy just set it up so it is a bit premature to send something else at this point. When we are ready, we’ll send something your way.
Thanks!

Rachel, Dave, everyone else,
I think the Amazon Smile program is new. I had not heard of it, and I am also pretty informed of the goings on. I'm happy to pass on any information, just send it to me. If you want it to go out Sunday evening, just get the info to me by noon Sunday. Otherwise, just send it when you have it.

Thanks,

Nancy

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<mailto: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<mailto: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<mailto:communications at sagamorehillspta.org> ), to put a blurb in the Wildcat.

Hey Dave,

Judos on the Communications position. I’m not sure when your position becomes effective, but I’m hoping that you can help me out. I just noticed that Sagamore Hills ES PTA is listed as a charitable organization with  the Amazon Smile program. I believe that the $ goes to the PTA (I’m waiting for confirmation from the treasurer), but I had no idea and I consider myself more informed than others. This is such a simple way to raise $ for the school so I want to get the word out and list the easy ways to register the school.  You have to purchase all items through the Smile Program and not the regular amazon acct so it is a bit tricky and I sometimes forget. That being said, it is such an easy way to raise $ for our school and it allows others (family members and other members of the community) to help the school as well. At some point, I’d like to send a e-blast out so I’m giving you a heads up. Any insight is appreciated.  Talk to you soon!
