The holidays are just ahead and the extra pinch in the pocket this year can be painful,but the Orcas Senior Center Coupon Book lets you both save and give whatever your budget.
A kale plant,or a big bouquet, candles or a second hand turkey platter, your purchase of a $20 coupon book opens the door to discounts across the island and soon pays for itself.
In the spirit of the season you are giving local businesses a lift and you are supporting services for seniors at a time when other funds are being curtailed.
Can you think of a useful,practical ,valuable gift for $20? The Coupon Book is all three and is already gift wrapped . Every coupon is valid until June 2012 so your gift will be long remembered as well.
Look for the Senior Center table at Island Market on Saturday,November 19. Coupon books will be on sale from 1-3 p.m. .and it’s a great time to use the Island Market 10% discount for Thanksgiving.
**If you are reading theOrcasonian for free, thank your fellow islanders. If you would like to support theOrcasonian CLICK HERE to set your modestly-priced, voluntary subscription. Otherwise, no worries; we’re happy to share with you.**
At least a half dozen of the coupons in this book each are worth over $20…it represents not only a tremendous value but also an incredibly generous lot of contributions by Orcas businesses.
These are a great deal for everyone, funds for the Seniors, savings for the consumer & maybe some extra business for local merchants:)
