Almost 2 Painless – Updated Guidance

Written by Jeff Mattingly on . Posted in Announcements.

How many of you shop at Kroger? If you do, you probably have a Kroger+ card to get the exclusive discounts by using the card. You may even have a Kroger credit card which is or can be linked to the Kroger+ card.

Our post has been approved to participate in Kroger’s Community Rewards program. In doing so, you can select Post 281 as your favorite charity and a percentage of your purchases will automatically be donated to the post without additional cost to you! Every little bit helps, right?

Here’s some Updated guidance:

To Use the Kroger Community Rewards Program:
Simply visit http://www.kroger.com. Log into your Kroger account then click on your Name (Upper right corner), select Community Rewards and search for Tyler Cates American Legion Post 281 either by name or DS341 and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a rewards card.

*Customers must have a registered Kroger rewards card account to link to your organization.
*If a member does not yet have a Kroger rewards card, please let them know they are available at the customer service desk at any Kroger

REMEMBER, purchases will not count for your organization until after your participants register their rewards card.
Participants must swipe their registered Kroger rewards card or use the phone number that is related to their registered Kroger rewards card when shopping for each purchase to count.

If you need help, please let us know so we can help you get signed up.

Breakfast With Buddies

Our 1st and 2nd Vice Commanders, Mike Faoro and Bob Snuck are getting together at Chick Filet in Mt. Juliet on 21 JAN 25 0900. They’re looking for members or interested persons to join them for some social comradery and story telling no doubt.

Sounds like a good opportunity to get out, spend some time with like minded folks and have a good time.

401 S Mt Juliet Rd Ste 105, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122

There’s really no set schedule for these get togethers so keep your eye on our Face Book group where updates are likely. Oh, you can get to the FB group at the bottom of the website pages. That white dot with the “f” in it.
