More with
Going Green:
This year we have switched our credit card bank to
Dharma Merchant Services.
Why? They gave us competitive rates on the percentage we
pay each time a guest uses a credit card here at CWC, but most
importantly, they are a certified green company AND they
donate a full 10% of the gross profits to a charitable
foundation of our choice.* Way cool!
(*We chose
Doctors Without
Borders: an international medical humanitarian
organization working in more than 60 countries to assist people
whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or
catastrophe.)
