Club,

I wanted to know if TTB has been receiving funds from Amazon? I switched to using Amazon Smile in April, with TTB being the charity that received the proceeds from my purchases. 

My wife an I are hermits mostly, so we order things from Amazon that most people probably don't. Everything from paper products (pantry items), to underwear and lube (chain, yeah, er no - that comes from the LBS. anyways...).

We spends thousands a year there, instead of at big box stores. I like to think that helps the local economy. Our UPS, FedEx and USPS drivers all live in this community. Not to mention the Amazon DC that's coming to Concord (that will replace the UPS and FedEx guys I suppose). Either way, the Waltons aren't getting more of my money (while our tax dollars supplement their employees wages, just so they can feed their families). Point is, hopefully some of that makes it to the club too. /rant

I'm not looking for recognition or anything like that. While I pay my member fees (and then some, I'm a sucker for a tShirt) - I hope these little donations add up to something tangible for our local trails. I mostly wanted to post to see if the club was getting anything, and to also start a dialog to see if more folks are doing the same?

Wishing you all Happy New Year,

~ Collin

I have received no correspondences from Amazon, sir.

Shoot me an email with the information and we'll get that rectified.

Collin,

Can you share what you used to search for the Tarheel Trailblazers?  I only found SORBA?

Regards

I went back and looked, only to realized that. I sent Mark some screenshots and info. Hopefully it gets sorted out. Meaning - either TTB gets those proceeds from SORBA, or becomes a specific choice. I'm ignorant, and assuming that's how it works.
