Notes of Interest
Another Way to Support Girl Scouts... Go Shopping!
That's right, go head and buy something -- a new CD, the latest bestseller, essentials like toothpaste or vitamins, even a computer. But first join
www.iGive.com. Every time you shop at one of the over 500 name-brand stores in the Mall at
iGive.com (like Amazon, JC Penney, Land's End and many more), the Girl Scout Council will receive a donation of up to 26% of each purchase you make, at no cost to you.
Remember, donating to Girl Scouts won't cost you a thing through this method. But we'll miss out on extra money to help Girls Grow Strong if you don't join. So visit
iGive.com now. Membership is free and your privacy is guaranteed.
