Shopping is a way of life. Everyone shops for groceries, clothing,
books, music, toys and specialty items. We all go to the movies, eat at restaurants
and fast food chains, and rent DVDs. In addition, many of us purchase items on the
Internet. Wouldn't it be great if the money spent
for these everyday purchases could translate into funding for CDS? Now it can!
This unique program requires no solicitation, no door-to-door selling, and
no donations for unwanted items. Instead, participants use gift/cash cards or
certificates to purchase items they would ordinarily buy or gift as gifts.
The way this program works is you buy gift cards or certificates from the
CDS PTC for specific participating merchants at face value. You receive dollar for
dollar value on your purchases. You buy what you
would normally buy and spend what you would normally spend. You
do not have to change your spending habits and can use the gift cards as gifts or as
cash. A sample of potential earnings is listed below.
CDS could earn $435 monthly or $5220 annually with 10 families spending
the follow:
$300 a month in groceries
$200 a month dining out
$150 a month in clothing
$100 a month in entertainment
$100 a month in home repair
50 families spending the same would earn $2275 monthly or $27,300
annually.
All of our families participating would earn $6188 monthly or
$74,256 annually.

We have several families that have participated in the program. If
you are interested in participating, please fill out the order form and set to the PTC
along with a check for your order.
If we learn to plan our purchases in advance and have a high
level of participation in this program, we would be able to earn much needed funding for
the multi-purpose building/gym or to purchase buses for the school as well as additional
items such as playground equipment, etc.
As always, we thank you for your time and consideration,
The PTC
