[nfbwatlk] : Fundraising

Thu Oct 31 18:40:11 UTC 2013

Well, if it is only $5 on $1,000, then I can understand not doing it.
But since signing up is effortless, what can it hurt? I know that some
people on this list (Mike Mello,) :) spend a fair amount on Amazon
each year, and I probably spend a few hundred. I bet that if we get
people we know to go through it, we could rack up some money. And,
does it cover Amazon Fresh?
