ESCRIP Supporters Must Renew By Nov. 1, 2003
The impact that the eScrip program is having on the youth of our nation is enormous, thanks to our merchant partners and the families that are making every purchase count. eScrip has proven to be a fantastic resource for fundraising where participating business partners contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card and debit/ATM card purchases to the school, group or
organization of your choice.

This year eScrip members MUST RENEW their Safeway card/s. (If you are unsure of your card number, call 1 -877 -SAFEWAY.) To avoid interruption, you must renew by November 1, 2003. There are two ways to renew:
* Call (800) 801 -4973
* Visit www.escrip.com and click on "YES! Renew"

Thank you for taking the time to show your commitment to our Healdsburg schools. Internet Users: This is also an opportunity for you to update your eScrip account, add/delete/update your credit cards and check the organizations you support. It updates your account immediately. Thank you for your continued support. Encourage your friends and family to join. It costs nothing, is totally secure and benefits our children. Forms to register/update are available in all school offices and the district office.

For those not familiar with eScrip, here's how it works:
You register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program. (Go to www.hhs.husd.com and click on the eScrip link.) Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group, based on purchases made by you, just by using the cards you have registered. Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just
how much you are earning on your child's behalf! What HUSD groups can you support? The list includes the BOP (Band of Parents) Music Boosters, Fitch/Foss PTA, HHS Grad Celebration, Advocate/Language Learning, HJH PTO, HES PTO, Cheer Squad, Swim Club, Parent Information Network and the Unified School District. You may select up to three groups to support. Money raised in your name is split evenly among the groups that you select. Find out more at www.hhs.husd.com.

Please RENEW today! It costs you nothing. You must renew by November 1, 2003 or we may lose you as a supporter. Questions? Contact-Paula Wurlitzer 433-9386 or email at lwurlitzer@prodigy.net.
