WELCOME TO AMAZONSMILE!

ANOTHER WAY TO SUPPORT THE IWF - JUST BY SHOPPING AT AMAZON!

What is AmazonSmile?

The Issaquah Women's Foundation periodically receives a donation from the AmazonSmile Foundation as a result of the AmazonSmile program.

Do you shop at Amazon but not AmazonSmile?

We know you'd like to help support the IWF and shopping on AmazonSmile is a super easy way to do so.  Here's how:

• Open Amazon.com
• If you're already signed in:

1. In the upper right hand corner of the home page, click the down arrow next to "Accounts & Lists"
2. Go to the last item under "Your Account" and Sign Out

• Go to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/03-0598420
• Sign back in using your regular Amazon login and password
• Bookmark the page for easy access in the future
• Shop as you always have and AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the IWF

The next time you open AmazonSmile you'll automatically reach the IWF page.  Sign in with your regular user name and password.  Start shopping, it's that easy!

BROWN BEAR CAR WASH TICKETS

Brown Bear car wash tickets are available at our monthly meetings while supply lasts.  Tickets are $7.00 for a single ticket or $30.00 for 5 tickets and can be purchased from Wilma Taylor, our Treasurer.

The normal price at Brown Bear is $8.00. The club’s proceeds from this activity go directly to the IWC Foundation. For those tickets you purchase from Wilma at $7.00, we earn $5.50, and for those you purchase at $6 we earn $4.50.
