Dear Friends:

BE A PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL…….

How you ask? Simply by shopping! Buy groceries using your club card at Vons/Pavilions and support a restoration project. Make purchases at Zany Brainy and support an educational program. Use your credit card at Coco’s, Office Max, Big 5, Eddie Bauer, Claim Jumper, Payless and numerous others and they will all make a donation of a percentage of your purchase to the Newport Bay Naturalists & Friends. This could mean thousands of dollars to us for our mission of restoration, education and preservation of the Bay – and at no cost to you except your time to register.

How do you register you ask? I have just done it and it is simple. Just go to www.escrip.com and follow these steps:

Click on Sign Up near the center of the page

Enter our group number – 3459661

Click Search

Newport Bay Naturalists will appear. Select this and click Next

Enter your name and address (No other fields need to be entered unless you choose to do so.) Click Next

Enter your grocery store club cards and click Next

Enter credit cards you would use when making purchases and click Next

If you have a Chevron card, enter it here and click Next

Please be assured that Electronic Scrip Incorporated (ESI) is a reputable California-based corporation dedicated to establishing relationships between commerce and community since 1999 to provide resources to organizations and projects that support children. They have made a firm commitment to protect all customer information provided and will not license, sell, exchange or distribute any personally identifying information about eScrip participants to any third parties not directly involved in the eScrip program.

Also, may I assure you that the monthly statement I receive gives no details of your purchases - just a monthly amount spent and the amount deposited directly into the Naturalists’ Bank Account. Different merchants contribute different percentages (some up to 20%). Just think about how much your grocery bill may be in one year and a percentage of that could go directly into preservation of our fragile estuarine ecosystem at no cost to you. Won’t you please register now?
