You should have received a couple of e-mails about the Fundscrip gift card program that included the forms to sign up (if this is new to you) along with the code required. If you have questions about the program, speak to Jocelyne Trottier at the pool or e-mail her at trotts91@hotmail.com.
Although you can go online and place your order whenever you want, the official order is every 2nd Thursday at 9:00 am. This is when your order is processed and your bank account is debited. The gift cards for TMSC are all sent to the club and will be picked up by Jocelyne. She’ll be at the pool the following Thursday or Friday with your cards.
Once you are signed up, you will get a reminder e-mail for the week that you can order. An alternative is to set your order up as ‘recurring’ so you recieve the same order each time.
In addition to the basics like food and gas there is a great list of retailers to choose from. What a great way to Christmas shop for those hard to shop for family members! You will also be able to get gift cards from Shop and Support which offers some different retailers from Fundscrip. Jocelyne will let you know when she is placing an order and you give her a cheque payable to TMSC.
Although reaching your commitment in gift card fundraising may seem difficult it is definitely achievable. If you do reach your commitment and continue to participate, a portion of what you raise is deposited in your swim account…a great way to pay meet fees or for equipment for your swimmer.
