Fund Raising/ FREE Dues
Discounted Store / Gift Cards
Pictured is just a sample of several hundred national and area retailers participating in Scrip (fund raising used by thousands of schools, churches, youth leagues & troops, more). The program is too simple: buy cards on-line at face value (your payment comes to the Chamber), the Chamber then actually pays for the cards at LESS than face value (discount determined by retailer). You, then, both get and give those savings. www.ShopWithScrip.com |

Half of the discounts you earn and accumulate are returned to our community through whatever means you and your fellow Chamber members decide: scholarships, needy families, community projects, youth leagues, schools, library, performing arts . . . whatever!

Good for Your Business |
The Scrip program allows, even encourages, LOCAL businesses to participate (this country's thousands of small businesses are more important to our economy than the relative few national ones, and the folks at Scrip recognize that). Simply tell our Chamber Scrip committee how much of a discount you'd like to offer (to ANYONE who uses the shopping site), and we'll take care of the rest. Marsh (pictured) and Kroger are not offered by Scrip, but they ARE part of the Chamber Scrip program because WE put them there (at their request).
Don't have an actual plastic card to offer? No problem, your gift certificates work just fine, too. We buy (and pay for) them (cards or certificates) from you when ordered, and the customer uses them until fully depleted (when and if that occurs). |

Using discounted store cards typically earns from 2-20% on EVERYTHING you pay for (including tips and sales taxes!) at that store / restaurant / hotel / etc. Buy gas, book travel, purchase school / office supplies, clothes, sporting goods, camping gear, lumber & hardware & tools, computers & home entertainment, electronics, groceries, prescription medications, pet food & supplies . . . ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you buy can earn discounts - easily 4 figures in a year's time (our household has averaged $1,200+ per year for multiple years).
Half of those discounts you earn and accumulate are APPLIED TO YOUR ANNUAL CHAMBER DUES! Once this year has been paid, we'll continue applying to next year's bill. |

Here's a brief video that describes and demonstrates how to use this simple fund raiser - the more you use the Scrip program, the more you save, it really is THAT simple. Video tutorial: https://vimeo.com/84012169
