Would you like to donate to the NMRA without it costing you a cent? Or any trouble? You can! Amazon will donate 0.5 percent of your purchases to the NMRA. And it won’t cost you anything.

It’s easy to set up. You don’t need a new account or password. It’s easy to use. Just go to smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. If you forget, Amazon will (sometimes) ask you if you want to change — without losing your place.

I recently received my quarterly AmazonSmile report. The National Model Railroad Association received $191.54 this quarter from smile.amazon.com. But think how much more that would be if just everyone in the 4D used it.

To date, AmazonSmile has donated a total of:

•           $2,924.79 to National Model Railroad Assn Inc

•           $134,890,393.33 to all charities
