A Personal Message: A Time to Give
In late 2005, I established an associates account with amazon, going primarily from my discography page. Any amazon.com sales generated by people navigating to amazon from my site generates commissions, that amazon eventually sends my way. As I noted at that time, anything that comes my way from amazon.com will be turned over to charity, currently on a semi-annual basis, doubled by a match from me. All selected charities will be from the set of charities that Bruce Springsteen supports, that I have documented in substantial part at http://bruce.orel.ws/charities.html. During the first half of 2012, a total of 157 items were sold by amazon off links from the site. Total commissions for the quarter were $179.12. With rounding and my personal match, the donation+match is $350.00. The donation for this period is, unfortunately, an easy one. It is going to the American Red Cross ( http://www.redcross.org ) This one is a bit personal. Sandy hit home, it hit home home...
