Simplified Script sale

Simplified Scrip is having a March Madness sale.  There are many gift cards on “Sale” (Brunswick Bowling, Pier 1, Office Depot)  with the purchase price being 10-15% off the face value of the card. 

You will also get the additional fundraising percentage credited to your tuition offset account as well!  Free shipping on orders over $150 with the code “WEEKEND.”  This is a great way to earn those tuition offset dollars while purchasing gift cards to stores you already frequent, (Safeway 2%, Macy’s 6%, Children’s Place 4%, Gymboree 3%, Old Navy 4%, Regal Theaters/United Artists 10%)

Mandatory General Meeting next week

The next mandatory general meeting is next Wednesday at 7:30 in the Owen Brown Community Center. Many of us will be heading over to Michael’s Pub in the Kings Contrivance village center afterwards and all are welcome to join us

Gertrude Hawk Deadline Extension

The date for getting in all Gertrude Hawk orders has been extended until Monday March 16th. All orders will still be back in time for Easter. The reason for the extension is that our sales goal is at least $1000 & we are hoping that the additional time will help us reach that goal. The goal of $1000 is important because CTP gets 50% of total sales above $1000, while any total below $1000 will result in only a 20% return…quite a big difference. Your tuition offset is affected by these same percentages. Above $1000 in sales, if you buy say $100 in chocolate your tuition offset is reduced by 50% or $50 (the same percentage as the return of the school). Less than $1000 would result in 20% or $20 for the same example. So, if you feel like you would like to order more or just want to make a difference we welcome your contributions. Special thanks to those of you who have helped already. If you have questions or need any information, please let me know. Thank You, Josh Taylor Fundraising
