LaRosa’s Buddy Card Fundraiser:

We have sold over 100 cards in our first week of sales!  Remember, each family that sells 5 cards will receive a free card for their own use after the sale ends.  Also, spirit wear prizes embroidered with “BASH Swimming” are available for those families selling 10 or more cards.  If you still need to pick up cards, you may leave an envelope at the front desk of the main lobby with “Tracy Fry – BASH Buddy Cards” written on the front.  Inside the envelope, place a check payable to “Blue Ash YMCA” with $10 for each card.  Tracy will remove the check and replace it with the corresponding number of Buddy Cards you have purchased.  The envelope will then be returned to the front desk staff with your name written on the front.  If you pay in cash, you must be sure to put your name somewhere on the envelope so that we know who is buying the cards.  Return to the main desk later that day or the following day to pick up your cards.  Remember, the deadline to return unsold cards is Wednesday, January 30th.  Fro any questions contact Tracy at tfry1@cinci.rr.com or 793-2798.
