Here’s how it works:

1. Cards sell for $25 each and are re-useable, $10 from each card sold will go to your son or daughter’s account with Groove and can be applied to your son or daughter’s future dues and/or travel costs with Groove. See www.restaurantcardsiouxfalls.com for a list of restaurants.
2. If your son or daughter leaves Groove before the amounts are applied, any amounts not applied can be used by family members in Groove at that time. If no family members are in Groove at that time, the remaining amounts stay with Groove.
3. Cards will be available the next 2 Saturdays — Dec 12th & 19th — during the lunch breaks.
4. Make any checks payable to Groove.

If you have any questions or want cards after the dates listed above, please feel free to contact Leon Stoel.

Please see information below:

Dave Thompson, owner of Spezia’s and Bracco’s, and parent of a former Groove member, has graciously offered to allow Groove to sell Spezia / Bracco’s gift cards.

Here’s how it works:

1. When you purchase the gift cards through Groove, 20 percent of face value of the cards will go to your son or daughter’s account with Groove and can be applied to your son or daughter’s future dues and/or travel costs with Groove.
2. If your son or daughter leaves Groove before the amounts are applied any amounts not applied can be used by family members in Groove at that time. If no family members are in Groove at that time the remaining amounts stay with Groove.
3. Gift cards will be available in $25, $50 and $100 amounts and will be purchased on a limited number of days as shown below. You need to notify Steve Pfeiffer of the cards you want and get him a check payable to Groove, before that date. You can give him the checks at a rehearsal, or mail to, or drop them off at, 707 E. 41st St., Suite 200, SF, SD 57105. After that date make arrangements to pick up your cards from Steve.
4. Dates for orders:
   Tuesday, 12/1/09
   Tuesday, 12/15/09
   Tuesday, 1/19/10
   Tuesday, 2/16/10

These are GREAT places to eat and a GREAT opportunity to raise money for your Groove expenses.

For those who received coupon booklets as part of the individual fundraiser to be allocated towards your Groove travel costs, please bring any remaining unsold booklets and money for the booklets sold to Impact or Pursuit practice at the armory on Tuesday. Leon Stoel & Joan Westphalen will be there to collect them. If you collected cash and would prefer NOT to send cash with your child, it is fine to make a check payable to Groove Inc. for the amount you collected.

For those who were part of Saturday’s sales from 2-4 at Younkers, that money has been collected from Shelly Murra (the parent helper) and will be given to Steve Pfeiffer, with the proceeds being divided equally between all the students who actively participated during that timeframe on Saturday.

If you are unable to send the proceeds and/or unsold tickets along with your child on Tuesday, or they won’t be there, please contact Joan to make other arrangements to turn them in. Contact Joan with any questions.
