E-scrip...

This is the simplest fundraiser ever...no need to sell
anything, or knock on doors, or bug people. Just sign up
your Safeway, SaveMart and/or your Nob Hill cards and
before you can eat a ham sandwich you're helping the
band raise money. It costs YOU nothing and the STORE
will donate to the band program. Join the growing list or
people that are starting to get into E-scrip. And if you
already have your cards, remember to use them.

Goodsearch...

How about everytime you go to look something up on the
internet that band gets PAID for it! Well, that's the deal
with the Goodsearch engine which is powered by Yahoo!
For every search that is made on behalf of the Baler Band
Boosters, Goodsearch will pay one penny to the band.
Those pennies do add up! Make Goodsearch a part of your internet searching and help out the band at the same time...you'll feel better that way :-)

If you shop through Goodsearch the money gets even
better...give the Goodearch program a try!

Ink Cartridge Heaven...

All ink cartridges go to heaven...and in return we get
money for them. If you have any inkjet or laser printer
cartridges, turn them in to the bandroom so that we can
send them in to get money for our efforts. We have the
same deal going on with old cell phones...just bring them
in and we'll take care of the rest.
