Sunshine School and Extended Care Fundraiser

We’re having a fundraiser selling Peel-to-Save coupon cards.  We’re selling both Lawrence and Monroe County cards for $10 each.  We will be selling them until October 30^th.  These are great for Christmas stocking stuffers and Christmas and birthday presents for family, friends, co-workers, pastors, hairstylists, mail and newspaper delivery people, etc.  Included is an order form to take orders with and an envelope to put the money in.  On the back of the order form is a picture of what the Lawrence or Monroe County cards look like with a picture of the cards for the other county on a separate sheet.  Money is due when ordering them.  You can then return the order form and money at any time up until the end of the fundraiser to get the cards. 

The Lawrence County cards include coupons for Golden Corral, McDonald’s, Casa Brava, Heaven’s Gardens (at the Lighthouse Christian Bookstore), Papa John’s, Broadview Bowl, French Lick West Baden Indoor Karting, Empress Court, Little Caesars, Burger King, Johnny Junxions, El Compadre, Mr. Gatti’s, Penn Station, Big O Tires, Gasoline Alley Marathon, Sprint, and Jiffy Treat.  There are also discounts on the back for Sam’s Club, Lighthouse Christian Bookstore, Gasoline Alley Car Wash, Sprint Deluxe Car Wash, and Mr. Gatti’s Gattiland and more discounts to register for online.  These discounts can be used over and over until the card expires.

The cards expire June 30, 2013.  We will be selling cards again in the spring that will expire June 30, 2014 so that you can have coupons to use year round. 

The fundraiser is to pay for the Clifford magazines, a new balance beam, and a new toy chest.
