I have been using the Kroger Share Cards since the program started; and also had Marty send me more cards to give to friends and family who have also been using them.  I was in the grocery store last week and the card worked fine.  Last night 4/25/08 I tried to use it and the clerk said they don't work anymore.  I asked if it was Any Soldier or Kroger, he quietly said Kroger (I'm sure he has been yelled at a lot from other people and other organizations for saying so).  I told him what a shame that was and the girl working with him told me that Kroger hadn't even told them the cards didn't work until they tried to scan them. 

If this is the fact then I would imagine that a pertty good chunk of fundraising money has come to a screeching halt.  I'm going to try again in the hopes that it was a glitch in the computers or something, and have sent an e-mail to Marty to see if Kroger has really stopped the program.  I'm hoping it is a mistake.  I've not been a very good junkie lately and need to get back into the groove of sending and donating especially now if the one SMALL thing I had been doing may have come to an end. 

Like I said this will be a loss in revenue for AnySoldier so we all need to try and rememer to donate.  Times are hard for all of us financially with everything going up, but we sure don't want to lose this resource.
