Time out on ideas this week to report on the latest step in the growth of the Light Green Machine Institute.  We have been accepted by Amazon for their Amazon Smile program.

This means when you shop at Amazon through smile.amazon, you can select the Light Green Machine Institute for your charitable gifts.  This does not raise prices on anything you buy, it is just Amazon's way to give back.

We will keep the ad block to the left and at the bottom of the page on the newsletter here so you can easily get to it.

This is a big deal!  For in order to get accepted by Amazon, we first had to become registered with Guidestar.  Guidestar has very stringent registration requirements--only non-profits that have their affairs in order with the IRS can be listed there.  It has taken us close to two months to qualify (most of that being waiting time for the wheels of the Guidestar bureaucracy to slowly turn!).
