Take in a voucher, purchase an ice cream, they donate $1 for each one
sold!
Who doesn't like ice cream? Right? See you at Cold Stone!
Thanks to Sue Havlicek the WCHS Band is
starting a new fundraiser that will
not cost you anymore than you would already spend at
participating
businesses. All you have to do is plan ahead. For
example-
if you shop weekly at Wal-mart, you would buy a Wal-mart gift card for
the amount you need. The band will get a percentage of the
sale
and you spend what you would have spent there any way. Cards
will
be ordered in bulk on a regular basis throughout the year.
Check
out www.glscrip.com/ for more information on this exciting
program. These gift cards are also great for Christmas,
Birthdays, Weddings, Baby Showers...etc. Great Lakes Scrip Center has a
huge list of merchants to choose from.
Email Sue if you are interested. thavlicek@ec.rr.com
