Ink cartridge recycling & Band Bucks fundraising...
01 April 2005

Don't throw away those printer ink cartridges!! Bring them in to the Ferndale band room where we can redeem them through a recycling program that will pay the band a few dollars for each cartridge. As a non-profit organization that has to be innovative in its fundraising in order to provide opportunities for its kids, the cartridge recycling program could really do well. Think of all of those "empties" that get thrown away everyday. Help us convert them to cash and get the band closer to its goal of providing the students with the best equipment and instruction possible.

If you shop for groceries at Cost Cutter, Food Pavilion, Red Apple or Ennens you could help create more opportunities for the Ferndale Band. Buy your groceries using gift certificates bought from the Ferndale Band. Here is how it works. You purchase the gift certificates from the band at face value. Since the band obtained them at a 5% percent discount they make a profit. It may not sound like much but, everyone's 5% percent can really add up to help pay for those new instruments or cut down those travel costs. To purchase please email us at smenefee@ferndale.wednet.edu or call 383-9311. We'll get them right to you!!

A big thank you to April Walker for taking on for chairing the band bucks committee!
