SCRIP - LEARN TO SHOP A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, SAVE BIG BUCKS, AND CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR STUDENT'S BAND ACCOUNT by Denise Noble

Do you grocery shop at Save Mart or Food Maxx? Are you a regular at Barnes & Noble and Borders? Do you fill up the tank at Chevron? Shell? How about that redecorating job that you're starting? Home Depot participates in Scrip too. What is Scrip? Vendors sell Foundation West certificates (Scrip) at a discount, and the foundation sells them to you at face value. Clovis West - Foundation West gets the difference, varying from 2% to 17%. A percentage of this amount will be deposited to your student's band or colorguard account to help cover costs. Shop at Food Maxx, Save Mart, Blockbuster, Best Buy, Long's Drugs, Pier One, Tower Records, Chevy's TGI Fridays, Macy*s, Gottschalk's, Old Navy and our other vendors (see Scrip form) using scrip, and you could be generating funds for our school and your student's band or colorguard account at no additional cost to you. The Scrip comes in the form of paper gift certificates or gift cards. Some of the vendors even have different denominations to choose from. Use scrip during the holidays (great for teens, teachers, grandparents, etc.), at back-to-school time, for holiday presents/stocking stuffers, on your weekly grocery run, for your next special event or team celebration. To get your Scrip: Download and print the Scrip form from the cwband.org website. Indicate your choice of denominations for each vendor and quantity. Fill in all blank lines with your information. The Designated Organization is already filled in so that funds will be allocated to the Band and Colorguard. Fax over the completed form to the Foundation West office at 559/327-2490. You may instead send the completed form along with your student to school in the morning. Have them take it to the Foundation West office to be filled. Once your order is filled and ready, it is available for pickup at the front office. It's that easy! Please direct questions to Kelly Molthen in the Foundation West office, Monday through Thursday at 559/327-2469. Posted September 15, 2005; Updated October 8, 2006
