Hauser Bucks Are Here!

Need a birthday or holiday present? Going to a movie or out to dinner?
Help raise funds for the Hauser Junior High landscape project by purchasing Hauser Bucks.

What are Hauser Bucks?

  • The Hauser PTA purchases gift cards at a discounted rate but sells them at face value to you and keeps the difference to fund landscape initiatives.
  • For example, if you purchase a gift card from American Eagle for $25, the school receives 8% back on that purchase, or $2.00. If you purchase a $50 certificate from American Airlines, 16% or $8.00 comes back to Hauser! You receive the full face value of the card that you purchased.
  • The cards can also be used as gift cards to give to friends & family on your holiday list.

Why should I use Hauser Bucks?

  • The Hauser Landscape Committee is currently raising funds to transform the outside of our school and we need your help.
  • This fundraiser allows your everyday purchases, like groceries, gas, dining out, clothing and entertainment to directly benefit the school.

How do I order?
Simply fill out the attached order form, which lists all the retailers participating in the program, and return it to the Hauser office by Thursday, December 7th, 10:00 a.m.

When will I receive my gift cards?
Our committee will deliver your order to your home by December 15th.

Questions? Contact one of our committee members via email:
Michelle Brown mdsar@ameritech.net
Nancy DeMuro nancy@demuro.org
Michelle Hejna mmhejna@comcast.net
Dianne Kemper madija@comcast.net

Order forms are due 12/7 in the Hauser school office. Thank you for your support!

Hauser Landscape Committee
Michele Brown, Carol Burris, Nancy DeMuro, Michelle Hejna, Susan Hong-Sammons, Dianne Kemper & Brenda Smaller

You can download another copy of the flier here in Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format, and you can download the order form as an Excel Spreadsheet.

UPDATE 7:38 AM 12/1/06: It appears the ECC website has collapsed under the weight of all the snow! (their website is down…)
