MACY’S/RIF OFFER DISCOUNT: Donate $3 to RIF as a Macy’s customer during August and you’ll receive a $10 discount on a purchase of $50 or more – that’s a synopsis of the attached flyer supplied by Kiwanian Susan Coscarelli, who also heads RIF-SoCal. Last year from this promotion RIF So-Cal received over $100,000 – as excellent as this was, the need this year is even greater. A flyer with details was attached to last week’s issue of the RKC Reporter.
