Selling Parisian Community Days coupon booklets is a great way to earn some money for your student's band account. The booklets sell for $5 and the entire amount goes into your account. You can sell the booklets at home, work, wherever you go. Also, tables can be booked at Parisian in 2 hour increments. The coupons are valid Friday & Saturday, April 27 and 28.

To get your coupon booklets, or ask about booking a table, contact Karen Gardner at 734-812-0439

You can now link your Kroger card to the Franklin Marching Band. When you shop, the band will receive money. For information on how to enroll, or re-enroll, please click here: http://www.kroger.com/mykroger/018/community/Pages/community_rewards.aspx 

The identification number for the band is 90859. 

If you shop at Gordon Food Service (GFS), make sure to get a Fun Funds card so the bands will benefit every time you shop there. It only takes a minute to get a card. Make sure to tell them that you are with the Franklin Band Boosters (not Franklin High School). The band will get a percentage of your purchase. GFS used to credit the Band Boosters even if you did not have a card, but now they require a card.
