Great Lakes Scrip

    Participating in scrips is a great way to raise money for our band program, and
    puts money directly back into your student account to help defray costs for band
    camp, trips, etc.  Scrips work by offering gift cards to nonprofit organizations at
    face value with a rebate to that organization.  TABB splits the rebate 50/50 with
    your student account, so half of the discount value is returned to you with each
    purchase.  For instance, a $25 card for Olive Garden or Red Lobster offers a 9%
    rebate.  If you purchase two cards for a total of $50, $4.50 is returned to TABB
    and half of that amount, $2.25 is placed in your student account.  Your cards are
    still worth $50, but TABB and your student get some money back!  

    Great Lakes Scrip is a very organized program that offers hundreds of
    participating stores, restaurants, gas stations, and entertainment retailers.  
    Check out their website at www.glscrip.com and click on the Retailer List to see
    what gift cards are available for purchase, and the rebate amounts they offer.  
    Rebates range from 1.5% to 25% and will add up over time.  Gas cards are great
    for adult and teen drivers; they can be used right at the pump for cash prices.  
    Gas cards are available in $25, $50, $100 and $250 denominations, and the
    remaining card amounts are automatically updated each time you use them.  
    iTunes cards make great gifts, are easily used online and offer a 4% rebate.  If
    you enjoy dining out, shopping, going to the movies, etc, there’s something
    there for you, and the best part is that you raise money doing it!

    Great Lakes Scrip orders are placed once a month, and the cards are given to
    you a week after they’re ordered.  The next GL Scrip order will be placed  on
    Wednesday, November 12, and scrips will be returned to you the following
    week.   Order forms should be turned in before the end of parent/teacher
    conferences.  The Holidays are coming up quick, and great way to get your
    shopping done is through gift cards.  GL Scrip has a Holiday gift guide with lots
    of great ideas at http://www.glscrip.com/downloads/2008giftguide/2008_85x11.
    pdf.  

    Also this month, they are offering many pre-holiday bonus rebates, including
    Cabela’s [14%], LL Bean [17%], TGI Fridays [10%], Bath and Body Works
    [18%], Gap and Old Navy [11%].  

    Get all the retailers and updates at www.glscrip.com.

    Click here for an order form, or you may write your own order form.  You may
    also order online through Shop with Scrip. By registering your family online, you
    may track your purchases and rebates, and I'm informed that you have an order
    prepared.  Register at www.shopwithscrip.com. The organization is the Troy
    Athens Band Boosters/Troy MI, and the enrollment code is DCD59F9E7L17.  
    TABB has not yet allowed online payments [I hope to change that], so a check
    needs to be made out to TABB and given to me or placed in the TABB box by
    order placement date.

Student Accounts

    When students participate in selected fundraisers, money is earned to go in
    their student account.  Detailed information can be found on the Student
    Accounts page.

Nino's (monthly)

    Nino’s offers gift cards in any amount from $5.00 to $500.00. The cards are not
    rechargeable; you can throw away the card when you have used all the money on
    it and order a new one if needed.  Gift cards will be purchased once a month.
    Click here for the Nino's fundraiser document.

    Please print and fill out the Nino's Order Form,  Place the form and a check
    made out to TABB for the total amount in an envelope marked "Nino's" and put
    in the TABB mailbox.  Click here to request more information via email. You
    can order every month or just a month when you shop at Nino’s like December
    for the holidays. Nino’s gives us a 5% discount.

    The split for student accounts is 50/50. So if you order a Nino¹s gift card for
    $100.00, TABB receives $5.00,  $2.50 would be credited to your student¹s account
    and $2.50 is credited to TABB.


E-Mealz






    E-Mealz will simplify your life, save time and money!

    E-meals is a web site subscription for meal planning.  You pick a store and they
    provide a weekly dinner plan, including grocery list tailored to the store.  The
    meals have been extensively tested by real families and simple to make so you
    can spend more time enjoying dinner with your family!  The meals also take
    advantage of specials at your store.  If your store is not available there is an
    "Any-Store" option so you can shop at any store you like!

    The subscription cost is $15 for 3 months, that's $1.25 per week, charged to your
    credit card.  The subscription automatically renews every 3 months.  If you do
    not want to participate any longer, simply cancel before the end of your 3 month
    period.  You will still be able to access the meal plans for the remainder of your
    current 3-month subscription.

    TABB will earn a 25% commission of NEW subscriptions.  At this time,
    subscription renewals will not count.  A check will be sent when the commission
    surpasses $20 (approximately 6 people).  We will not have a way to track
    individual subscriptions, so this fundraiser will go into the general fund 100%.
