E Scrip Information

Dear Softball Parents,
 
    First, I want to say THANK YOU TO CATHY DAVIS! For those of you
parents that were at the Softball Parent Meeting, you will recall
that I talked to everyone about Escrip. Well, Cathy jumped on board
with zeal and took the Power Registration Log form to work and has
already turned in 24 new member names! Awesome job Cathy!
 
    Looking at the eScrip members we currently have, we know each one
of them is already generating an average of $83 in earnings a year to
HHS Softball from Safeway and other merchants! It doesn't cost us
anything except the few minutes initially to get the new members
signed up! What an awesome return for a minimal amount of effort.
That is a whole lot of car washes, bake sales and other fundraising
that we wouldn't have to do once we built up a large base of members!
We have 30 players this season and if each one signs up 3 new members
and each parent signs up 3 new members then we would have 180 new
members! If you multiply the 180 new members by $83 then that
could be $15,000 in earnings we'd have over the next year that didn't
cost us a penny!
 
    So what are we waiting for?! Now is the time for everyone to
embrace this program. The Anchorage Youth Symphony received $35,000
in earnings from this program in 2007!! So, it DOES work! This is
such a simple way for us to invest a little time ONCE and create a
continuing revenue stream for many, many years to come for the
softball team!
 
    We are asking that every player get 3 new members signed up and
that the forms be turned in to their coaches or faxed to Laurie by
May 1, 2009. Then we are asking parents to take the power log form to
work, to your next meeting, to Safeway or wherever and see how many
people you can sign up! Call Grandma, Aunt Betsy, your favorite
commercial fishermen  and everyone you know in the Lower 48 because
there are many grocery stores besides Safeway that will donate
earnings to our team such as Von's, Piggly Wiggly, Dominicks and many
others. Please go to http://www.eScrip.com for a complete list of
participating grocers and to familiarize yourself with the program.
Attached are forms for you to print and use. Please feel free to
contact Laurie Coates or Carrie Buckley if you have any questions.
Thanks so much for your help with this!
