CHS Band Boosters 2012 Golf Tournament Committee

Don’s Bands Supporters can buy a Fry's Gift Card for $5 and will get a gift card in return with $5 loaded on it (so really, you are paying nothing for the card).

Then, the buyer reloads the gift card at the register at Fry's before paying for their groceries. Then the clerk totals your groceries and subtracts from the gift card. Gift cards are like cash. The remaining money will stay on the card until its next use. You can reload the card up to $500 at a time.

Important! In order for the Dons Band Boosters to receive credit, recharges must be done prior to the start of your order. All recharges must be done as a separate transaction. Recharges cannot take place within an order.

NOTE: All card must be purchased through Melinda Contreras. Click on her name to send an e-mail for details.

and... These cards are accepted at all Kroger owned stores throughout the U.S. and can be sent to family and friends out of state and still benefit our local organization as long as the card continues to get recharged and not remain at zero balance for 90 days. A list of stores is below:

a.. There are two time periods during the year: August 1- January 31 and Feb 1 thru July 31st. During this 6 month period, all dollar amounts loaded onto Frys cards sold thru the Dons Band Boosters are totaled. We receive a percent rebate as follows:

b.. Checks are issued to the Dons Band Boosters twice a year within 6-8 weeks after the accumulated period ends.

a.. If the magnetic strip will not work and the card number cannot be keyed in at the register, simply contact the Consumer Services Department and we will issue another card for the balance that is on the original card.

b.. These gift cards are like cash; if lost or stolen they will not be replaced.

c.. If a card maintains a zero balance for 90 days, the gift card will become deactivated and another card will need to be purchased.

d.. Supporters can always find the balance of their gift card by looking at the bottom of their latest receipt.

You can simply request a card from Melinda Contreras We will have people pay their $5 at the time that they order the card.

We hope you have all had a chance to see the new uniform cabinets in the uniform room. if you have not, time a look next time you are in the Band Room. We overbought on the melamine sheets that were used to build the cabinets, so we have a few sheets for sale. The sheets are 8' by 4' and 3/4" thick. They sell for over $30 a sheet at Home Depot and Lowes. If you are interested, we will sell them for $15 a sheet. Please contact John Komlos at jonkat@cox.net or Melinda Contreras at melin7569@cox.net
Monies will go back into the Band Booster Budget.

Supporting education and the development of youth is one of Albertsons core charitable initiatives. We believe this is one of the greatest ways we can positively affect the quality of life in our communities.

The Community Partners Card program - a partnership between Albertsons and our communities' schools and youth organizations - was established in 1997. Since then, Albertsons has given back more than $65 million to the communities we serve!

Albertsons contributes a percentage of purchases made by the supporters of qualified and enrolled schools (grades pre-K through 12) and non-profit youth organizations. Each time supporters shop Albertsons and Sav-on Drugs with their registered Preferred Savings Card, they earn contributions. It's that easy!

Arizona State Tax Credit

Did you know that the Arizona State Tax Credit can help you pay for a large portion of your band activities? For example, SUSD has ruled that 100% of Band Camp can be paid for with Tax Credit money. And you don’t have to be the only one taking advantage of the tax credit. Print out several copies of the Tax Credit form from the band website and take it to your friends, neighbors, or relatives (not necessarily in that order). They can contribute the maximum based on their tax status and designate your Band student or the Band program as the recipient. Then when filing the Arizona State Income Tax for 2010, the money comes back as a direct credit to the amount of taxes owed. It’s simple, it’s painless, and everyone can feel a little better about paying their income tax.
