Note that the Feather River Rail Society, operator of the Western Pacific Railroad Museum and holder of the Western Pacific Railroad archives, is one of the charities you can designate.

Posted from Android Date: 04/22/14 23:40 Re: Amazon Smile - Donate to your charity For Free Author: Mgoldman Keep in mind - the amount, which is no charge to you, is "only" .5% of your purchase.
This translates to roughly $15 bucks if you buy a $3,000 camera. However... if you multiply that amount by thousands of railfans, families and businesses that sign up over the span of a year - I'd bet it's a nice chunk of cash. And again, it costs nothing to the purchaser. With that in mind... don't forget to make regular donations to your favorite charities. /Mitch Date: 04/23/14 12:26 Re: Amazon Smile - Donate to your charity For Free Author: 5-String Tons of worthy charities in there, but a quick search shows the Virginia Museum of Transportation is one of them.
Thanks for posting. Date: 04/23/14 14:48 Re: Amazon Smile - Donate to your charity For Free Author: Mgoldman When you log in to smile.amazon.com, at the top you will see in orange "supporting" and the name of the charity you are currently signed up to support. If you click on the "supporting" word, it takes you to a page where you can change your charity or search for other charities.
Thanks to Jim Rygg for that info! /Mitch |
