• Anyone willing to help out with the SCRIPS orders this month, please call Marci Wheeler at 677-5666. They are expected to be in on Wed. around 2:00 in the afternoon to the Wheeler's Loveland address. With well over $16,000 of gift certificates on order, it will be extremely difficult for one person to be able to get the order processed with the normal turn around. Hopefully, they will be available for pick up Wed & Thurs at practice. Please check with Marci on a pickup time.
• Last chance to order your 2005 CAC team photo. Place order form with $10.00 check (payable to Linda Carlson) in the Donovan folder by Tuesday, December 6th.
• Save money on your team fees by purchasing your groceries at Kroger. Each new family has received a Kroger Fund raising Gift Card with a $1.00 balance. Additional cards may be purchased for family and friends, and your family will receive credit for each card registered in your name. Simply add money to your card at any cashier BEFORE you begin to check out with groceries. Kroger will give back to CAC 4% of all purchases using the CAC gift cards. Based on a monthly statement received from Kroger, each family will receive credit for their purchases, and the amount will be deducted from each families monthly CAC fees. If you have any questions, or would like an additional card, please contact Betsy Warwick 474-3135 or bwarwick3@juno.com.
