Scrip - An Exciting New Fundraiser!

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 (from the band) 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.
