[ccpops] Spreading the vouchers!

[mjd205 at mac.com]

Hi Folks,
Beginning this Sunday, Crosby's Market will donate 5% of the receipts 
of all shoppers who submit a 'Crosby's Community Commitment Voucher'.  
This money will go directly to the scholarship fund to help several 
students travel with the chorus and other ensembles to compete in the 
North American Music Festival in Virginia at the end of April. We have 
vouchers for two consecutive weeks. The vouchers are dated for a 
one-week period, so separate vouchers are needed for each week.

You will be receiving a set with the 'Noise' (delivered to your homes 
within the next couple of days) and they will also be available at the 
Chorus concert next Tuesday.

In the meantime, your help in getting these vouchers out to the larger 
community would make a huge difference. The program does not cost the 
shopper a penny; we are only asking for people to submit their voucher 
at the cash register.

At the St. Patrick's Day luncheon for Senior Citizens on Saturday, I 
made a sign explaining the program to display on a table, with the 
vouchers sitting nearby, so that folks could help themselves. (No 
pressure!) Many did take the vouchers. If you are 'connected' to any 
kind of upcoming community event (Middle School Musical, parents 
meeting, etc), please contact me if you would be willing to set up a 
table to have the vouchers readily available.

We have plenty of vouchers already copied; your help in distributing 
them to a larger audience will make a huge difference in the proceeds. 
(There are several stalwart CCPOPS supporters who already purchased 
their year's supply of laundry detergent during the first week of the 
program!) Our first week was very successful, but our goal of helping 
EVERY student who needs financial aid will only be achieved with a 
broader base of shoppers!

Thanks in advance for your help!
