-===== Shop at Amazon =====+=====Follow us on Meetup===== 
 +[[https://www.meetup.com/ChattLab-Makerspace-Meetup|{{:meetup.png?direct&75 |}}]]Our [[https://www.meetup.com/ChattLab-Makerspace-Meetup|Meetup]] page is a great way to learn about new events we are planning.  
  
-This is one of the simplest and easiest ways you can make a difference.  All you have to do is name Chatt*lab Makerspace your charity of choice with your Amazon.com account and then shop at smile.amazon.com. Doing so will give our charity half of one percent of each of your purchases, and it doesn't cost you any more money. +To follow us on meetup directly, [[https://www.meetup.com/ChattLab-Makerspace-Meetup?action=join|Select This Link]]
-[[https://smile.amazon.com/ch/81-4230745|{{ :s7-j0sae.png?200|}}]] +
-You can do it in 3 simple steps: +
-  - Go to [[https://smile.amazon.com]] and sign-in +
-  - select CHATTLAB MAKERSPACE as your charity (or click this shortcut link to do so: [[https://smile.amazon.com/ch/81-4230745|Set Chattlab as my charity]] ) +
-  - If you use google Chrome, install the smile always extension here: [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smile-always/jgpmhnmjbhgkhpbgelalfpplebgfjmbf?hl=en|Smile]]+
  
-The "trick" to all of this is that you have to shop at "smile.amazon.com" instead of the normal "www.amazon.com".  It's the same site, just different way of getting there.  The smile-always extension (step #3) redirects you to the smile portion of the site each time go go to amazon.com.
