Giving Without Pain:You know those cards that hang from you key chain. The ones from the supermarket. The ones that get you a discount on your groceries at the same time that they are feeding all your shopping habits to the evil planning spies in the basement at the world headquarters of supermarket chain without a need for a court order from a judge. Sorry, health hippie paranoia rearing its head. I use the cards, I`m a teacher I need the savings. And they do save money so I knowing let them track my spending habits and just hope
they don`t go after tofu eaters as the next great treat to world peace.
Now there is a better reason to get one of those
Ralphs cards. You can attach it to
ASIFA-Hollywood and
Ralphs will donate money to
ASIFA-Hollywood through their
Community Contribution program and the money will help us to keep all the magic alive at the Archives and the Annies and the screenings.
If you already have a
Ralphs card you can attach your card to
ASIFA-Hollywood over the Internet. The website is
www.ralphs.comClick on the large graphic in the middle that says
Ralphs Community Contribution -
Your Card -
Your Community - Your CauseYou`ll see two boxes in the middle of the screen. One says
Organization and the other says
Participant.
If you don`t have a Ralphs Club card, Click on the
sign up button in the
Participant box.
Enter the
NPO (Non Profit Organization) number for ASIFA-Hollywood, which is
83902 (We are listed in the Ralphs system as International Animated Film Society. I had to poke around a bit to find it.)
Put in your
Ralphs Club card number and your identifying information, as requested on the web page
name,
address,
email address,
phone, (they don`t even ask you how long you have been a tofu addict).
Hit
Submit and you`re good to go. The money starts coming in to keep ASIFA rolling on and it doesn`t cost you a penny.
It is easy and you only have to do it once. Got to go now, I`m late for my meeting of the Tofu Eater`s Underground Railroad Society.
