REDNER'S Gift Cards will be available  starting December 19 after the 10 o'clock worship service.  Bring your check and receive your cards - $25. - $50. - $100.

The Vestry of St. Alban’s is excited to announce a new and easy fundraiser for our church—gift cards! St. Alban’s will be purchasing gift cards from Giant, Redner’s and Weis in denominations of $25, $50, and $100 at a reduced rate.

We will then sell them back to you for the full amount and reap the profit for our operating fund. Many of you already do your grocery shopping at one of these stores so why not buy gift cards to make your purchases and raise money for your church at the same time. Here’s how it works. St. Alban’s will purchase gift cards for less than face value. You will buy the gift card for face value and GET face value for the card, but because we purchased them at less than face value (thanks to generosity of these stores) we will get the profit. You will lose nothing and be making a purchase you already intended to make and raise money for us! It’s that easy! We will be selling the gift cards after the 8:00 am and 10:00 am services. They will also be available in the office of St. Alban’s during business hours.

Wait – it gets better! We will also be offering gift cards to many of your favorite stores and restaurants on a monthly basis. The order form is in this issue of the Sonlight. Simply follow the instructions on the order form and get the gift cards in time for holiday gift giving. Again, we will purchase them at a reduced rate and reap the profits. We will not keep an inventory of these cards, but make them available for ordering on a monthly basis. So even after holiday gift giving time, with a little planning, you can have them for other gifts or to make purchases you are intending to make or use at restaurants you already frequent. All the while giving back to St. Alban’s!

We are excited about this new and easy way to raise money for our operating fund and in the future our building fund. We hope that you enthusiastically embrace “Operation Gift Card.” If you have any questions, feel free to ask any member of Vestry or you can call Marcia Fortley at 610-374-1788.
