How to Help en Taiko through the Amazon and Fred Meyer Rewards Programs
Hello en Taiko Community,
There are two easy and painless ways to help en Taiko and at no cost to you! Amazon and Fred Meyer each have a charitable contribution program that donates money to a charity of your choice (hopefully en Taiko) for many of the purchases that you make. The two programs are called AmazonSmile and Fred Meyer Community Rewards. These programs cost you nothing… same products, same prices.
Please take the short amount of time it takes to enroll in these programs. This is a great way to help en Taiko with almost no effort and no cost to you. Instructions on how to enroll for each program are below. Please contact me if you have any questions or any trouble enrolling.
With thanks,
Kazuyo Ito, Artistic Director
AmazonSmile:
Yes, this is run by THE Amazon, it just requires that you enroll in the program and use the “smile.amazon.com” site instead of “amazon.com” when shopping Amazon… exact same products, exact same prices, everything is exactly as if you were using the regular Amazon site. To learn more and to enroll visit the “About Amazon Smile” webpage at: http://smile.amazon.com/about
Or, if it makes you more comfortable, you can access the “About Amazon Smile” webpage using the secure link through the Amazon website: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201365340

Fred Meyer Community Rewards:
Every time you shop at Freddy's and use your Fred Meyer Rewards card they will donate a small percentage to the charity of your choice (en Taiko). First you will need a Rewards Card and an On-line Account for the card.
Don’t have a Fred Meyer Rewards Card? Here is how to get one.
Just ask any Fred Meyer Cashier or at the Customer Service Desk. Complete a quick and simple form with your name, address (so that they can send you your reward dollars to spend at Freddy's), and an alternate ID number (often a phone number) for when you don’t have your card with you. Want to know more? Here is the FAQ site: https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/rewards-faq-s
