[ΦTΣ]ΦΤΣ & GivingTuesday - please give and put a smile on your heart today!

[Lee, Ken]

Our appreciation to Kantha for her timely and important message. I add these two strategies:

  1.  Use Amazon Smile as we set online shopping records. At no cost to you Amazon donates a % to Phi Tau Sigma. https://smile.amazon.com/
  2.  Giving can be selfish. I made a gift to Phi Tau Sigma to pre-pay all nomination fees from Ohio State. Dr. Kathy K kindly sends me a balance statement, instead of chasing payments from each applicant. It helps grow membership, advances your local chapter, and is appreciated by students who would get billed.

Importance: High

Dear fellow Phi Tau Sigma member,
Happy Giving Tuesday!
As Treasurer of Phi Tau Sigma, I love Giving Tuesday, a global celebration that matches selected donations to help raise awareness of charitable causes and amplify donor generosity.
GivingTuesday runs for 24 hours, beginning at midnight (your local time), and social platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, PayPal, SnapChat, Tiktok, and Twitter are matching eligible donations made during GivingTuesday on their platforms. This year, due to the unprecedented impact of the coronavirus on the world, GivingTuesday has announced #GivingTuesdayNow-a global day of giving and unity-set to take place all day long on Dec 1, 2020.
Students are our future and Phi Tau Sigma is committed to supporting food science students to advance the understanding of the science of food with various scholarship opportunities. If each of us donated just $5, it would add up to a student scholarship. If we each multiplied this donation by twelve with a monthly pledge for a year, for just $5 each month, we could boost our support of students to twelve times that.
Never before has it been more critical to safeguard science and scientific debate, especially in the realm of food. Please consider giving a modest donation to help advance the science-based understanding of food.
I have posted a message about giving to Phi Tau Sigma on LinkedIn and on Twitter:
LinkedIn: see https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6739507446638788608/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6739507446638788608/__;!!KGKeukY!j5atakdYvxFq5r6fqkqRpwFYWLDTfbEBWrG3283q6TUsbY_b9t_CauHhsOQhpgJ8Q4SLRw$>
Twitter: see https://twitter.com/kantha/status/1333743061264855040<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/twitter.com/kantha/status/1333743061264855040__;!!KGKeukY!j5atakdYvxFq5r6fqkqRpwFYWLDTfbEBWrG3283q6TUsbY_b9t_CauHhsOQhpgLVUdVTKA$>
Do chime in on any one of these links with just a word or two or even a line about "why you are giving". Add hashtags #GivingTuesdayNow and #PhiTauSigma to multiply the chance of matching your tax-deductible donations. The more #PhiTauSigma shows up in these platforms, the more the chance of us reaping additional funds.
Or, you can just click on this link and pay via PayPal (which is also matching donations): http://www.phitausigma.org/donate/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.phitausigma.org/donate/__;!!KGKeukY!j5atakdYvxFq5r6fqkqRpwFYWLDTfbEBWrG3283q6TUsbY_b9t_CauHhsOQhpgI82uxcmw$>
We need your help to support food science students and researchers continue the understanding of the science of food! Your donations will allow us to expand our outreach efforts and positively affect millions of lives!
Will you help us to continue making a difference on Giving Tuesday?
>From the desk of the Treasurer, I thank you!
