Are you using your Schnuck’s e-scrip card and Dierberg’s cards?

Schnuck’s will contribute up to 3% of your purchase to Traditional every time you shop, just by swiping your card…how simple can it be? Don’t Grocery filled bag have one or can’t find yours? You can pick one up at any Schnuck’s Courtesy Desk, or call the office and we’ll send you one. Also, come in to the office to purchase Dierberg’s cards in denominations of $25 and $100. These can be used like cash at any Dierberg’s. You spend the same as you would anyway, and Traditional gets a donation!

A Special Thank You Message from Rabbi Gordon

JULY OFFICE HOURS

Please note that during the month of July, office hours are 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Thank you to all who volunteered to help out in the office while I am on vacation 7/13-8/6. We can use more help if you are available during that time; please let me know which days/hours you can cover so I can put together a schedule for everyone. Thank you! Also, if you need to purchase Dierberg's scrip or have other business to take care of, please try to call or come in by next week so we can make it as easy as possible for our volunteers who are helping out.
