CITY ACCESS FUNDRAISER  This book, selling for $20, has some outstanding deals.  This list shows the free offers (totaling over $200!).  And you can also see a complete list of merchants included in the book.  One highlight is a coupon for a free oil change at Micheal Tires (a $32 value, and there is one near Home Depot in the Township).  If you buy the book, it pays for itself with this one coupon...plus you get other freebies and discounts.  Please help support the Tempo Club with this fundraiser.  We make $10 on each book sold.  If every family sold just one, this would go a long way towards helping to make up our shortfall from the rainy football concessions this past year.  Ask you student if you haven't seen the information.
