More information about AmazonSmile. People shopping must understand the following:
The AmazonSmile program offers customers the benefit of making a donation to your favorite charity. We’re able to provide this benefit to you when you choose to start your shopping at smile.amazon.com or with AmazonSmile turned ON in the Amazon Shopping app on your mobile phone, in part because we expect AmazonSmile to grow primarily through word of mouth instead of paid advertising—and this enables us to fund donations to our customers’ favorite organizations.

We want the people who enjoy our center and those of the Verona community to be a part of its future, so we are inviting you to bring your excitement, enthusiasm and ideas as a member of Friends of Verona Senior Center Board of Directors!!
