 ATTENTION: SONY OFFICES ARE CLOSED FROM DECEMBER 24 - JANUARY 3.

 HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY!!!

 

Dear Friends,

 

P&G BrandsaverIt's time again to kick off this year's P&GbrandSAVER program! This year marks the 30th anniversary of our partnership with P&G and we are excited to continue this promotion. Keep an eye out for your P&GbrandSAVER coupon books in your local newspaper on Sunday, December 27, 2009.

This year's promotion is based on coupon redemption: Special Olympics receives 3 cents for every coupon used. There is no limit to the gift, so the more you redeem the coupons or encourage your friends and family the greater the money raised for Special Olympics. 

Don't forget the savings for you -- the P&GbrandSAVER coupon book includes more than $88 in savings on many of your favorite brands!

The coupons expire January 31, 2010, so don't wait too long to start clipping and saving! This is a great opportunity to raise money for Special Olympics and to continue to spread our message of respect, acceptance and inclusion. To find your local newspaper that carries the P&GbrandSAVER coupon book please

They are selling 22" double-sided fresh balsam wreaths with a 6-loop red velvet bow, pine cone clusters and red holly berries. If you would like to order one you can order online at www.3rwc.com or toll free at 888-934-5999. When you go to checkout, use promo code NYSO.

 Letter from VP

 

ALL COACHES - If you have not done so already please send your rosters into me. We utilize rosters for many reasons such as keeping track of all of our athletes and what they are training in, medical information (if they are going to expire) and once they are entered into the system we are able to use the information to apply for grants, etc. They are very important so please turn them in as soon as possible. Thank you.
