These gift cards can also be used at the The Club for golfing along with dining and catering events such as weddings and reunions. Maximum per event is $1500. If you need a larger amount for a golf package or other needs please call the scrip office.
EASTER IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY: Don’t forget to get your scrip for your Easter dinner or for those goodies in your Easter baskets. PLEASE NOTE: The Great Lakes Scrip Center is closed April 2-6th. Your last chance to order Great Lakes scrip before Easter will be Wed. March 28th as I will place one last order to stock my boxes before the Center closes. Great Lakes reopens on April 9th so that will be the next time I can place an order. Do you need an itunes or a game stop gift card to complete your basket? Plan ahead to be sure you can get the scrip you need. Local weekly orders can be filled the week of April 2nd . Orders will need to be picked up at the central office as school is out on Tues and I won’t have everything in by then. If in doubt, please call.
While we are out of school for Easter Break, April 4-9th, you will still have the opportunity to get scrip during the office sales on Wed afternoon April 4th from 12:30-4:30pm and Monday April 9th from 8:30-4pm. SCRIP WILL NOT BE SOLD on Friday April 6th, (Good Friday, office is closed) or after masses on Easter weekend.
Watch your order forms and newsletters to see when Hartman’s and Roobach’s will be available in the daily box. About the same time I will also start to carry Seven Lakes in the daily box for dining and golfing needs. CNC Links is already in the daily box due to its popularity. I anticipate the spring inventory to be in the daily box around the first week of April. In the meantime all are available as a weekly order.
Happy Easter, 683-6880 or email at scrip@sfamanitowoc.com
