ALL TEAMS! Great NEW fundraising opportunity for April at Salerno’s! RUNNING THROUGH END OF APRIL!

-When: For the month of April every Tuesday and Wednesday.

-What you need to do? Ask friends and family when eating out to eat out at Salerno’s in Highland Village.

-Next: Ask them to write your team members name on the receipt and drop if off at the front of the restaurant. (please print name)

-Salerno’s is going to then pay 10% back per receipt total. This does include alcohol just not sales tax. So if you are going out for a glass of wine why not pay yourself back 10%!
