Fundraiser Reports:
NTP = Nothing To Report

• Meijer Rewards—www.meijer.com/rewards Oxford Band Booster Rewards account #725130—received $104 to-date. Requested more sign-ups, but still working on problems with the e-checks. (Debit card/cash still works with the card, but the Meijer credit card has some issues that haven’t been resolved yet). They have upped the price for use of the gas card, instead of 5 cents it's 10 cents off the gas.--FYI, this doesn't go to the band, it just saves you money. OCTOBER IS DOUBLE POINTS FOR MEIJER REWARDS!
