Smile Card Orders
It’s almost time to buy your Thanksgiving Day groceries, so why not use a brand new Thrifty’s Smile gift card to do it?
It’s an simple way to raise extra funds for the club, as we can earn up to 6% of all card sales. They are available in multiples of $50, $100 or $200 and so easy to order.
All you need to do is click Smile Card Order Form before Monday October 12th and they’ll be ready for distribution shortly after. Why not do it now, before you forget!
Speak to Chris Fereday if you have any questions (250-240-9592)
