Register your Safeway Club Card with eScrip!

[cplager]

Here is a nearly effortless way to support Irvington School:

Go to http://www.escrip.com right now, sign up as an Irvington School
supporter, and register your Safeway Club Card. Then every time you
shop at Safeway, a percentage of your purchase is donated to Irvington
School. It's that simple! You can even ask your friend's and relatives
to register.

So, before you do your holiday food shopping, take a few minute and
register your Safeway Card with eScrip.

And don't forget that next week is your last opportunity to by scrip
before the break. Watch for an order form to come home this friday.

Thanks for your support

Hello Irvington Families and Friends,

One last chance to buy SCRIP before winter break. Order forms are going out
in Friday Folders. Forms are attached to this email and you can also get
them from the PTA bulletin board in the front hall. Please return completed
forms with a check to the SCRIP drop-off slot in the school office by the
end of the day on Monday December 7th. Please be sure to list on the back
if you want it delivered to your home or if you want to pick it up during
pickup on Friday Dec 18th.

Not hip to SCRIP yet? SCRIP is a convenient way to turn money you already
spend at local stores into fundraising dollars for our kids. Here's how it
works. You order pre-paid cards from local vendors (Starbucks, Fred Meyer,
New Seasons, etc, see attached order form). When the order is made, the
school is given a percentage of the total amount back. The great thing
about SCRIP is there is no extra cost to you. Each year we make thousands of
dollars from SCRIP but we are only capturing a fraction of what we could. So
become a regular SCRIP buyer today. We made $482 on our last order and so
far this year we've raised $1768.

The holidays are a great time to start ordering SCRIP. Many of you are
planning to make large pre-planned purchases this season. There are ton of
very fine retailers to choose from on the SCRIP order form. Many of them
pay back high percentages (8-12%) to the school. So before you buy that
gift for a loved one, plan ahead and purchase it with SCRIP cards.

Perhaps you have budgeted a specific amount to spend this season but can't
find stores on the form that you want to patronize. With SCRIP you can now
buy a pre-paid Visa credit card and make all your holiday purchases with it.

One small correction from our last message, you cannot purchase gift cards
at Freddy's or Safeway using SCRIP gift cards. My apologies for any
confusion this may have caused.

The next SCRIP order is on January 5th.

If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to contact me at
fun...@europa.com or 530.975.8028.

Warmest Regards,
Jason Blumklotz
