Some of you may be concerned about the alarming stories on the internet and in the press recently about gift cards and retailers going out of business.
Our SCRIP Vendor, Great Lakes SCRIP have some thoughts on this subject. Great Lakes and your SCRIP committee are keeping very close tabs on retail partners that may be in financial trouble. If Great Lakes feel that there is a significant risk of them closing, or not accepting their gift cards, they will stop selling their cards. When we receive word from Great Lakes regarding a retail partner that may be in financial trouble, we remove them from our order form. When and if we have important information about retailers, we will do the best we can to quickly and clearly share that information with you.
We hope this helps with any uncertainty you may have. As always, the SCRIP Committee and the Parents Club appreciate your business, and wish you a happy and profitable holiday season.
