Kroger Community Rewards
If you shop at Kroger and use a Kroger Plus Card, link your account to our band and earn a percentage of what you spend for your student’s band account. Sign into Kroger online or the app. Go to “My Account”. On the left is “Community Rewards”. Our Organization Number is MS458. Each quarter you can look up your amount and send a screenshot showing the amount you've earned. It’s a small percentage but every bit helps!
Send questions/screen shot each quarter to Ramona England rgillick@sbcglobal.net.

Kiwanis Incredible Duck Splash
This is a great Fundraising Opportunity to earn money for your band account.
The Kiwanis Incredible Duck Splash occurs each October and is a fundraising activity sponsored by the Meridian Kiwanis Club. Students sell duck “adoptions” and for each duck that someone “adopts”, they get one entry to win one of 20 prizes valued at up to $2,500. Sales generally start at the end of summer band camp and run until the end of September. Thousands of numbered rubber “Duckies” are dropped into the pond at Mill Race Park, with winning ducks drawn out at random.
$$ You get 80% of all money you raise! Sell $100 and $80 goes into your account.
$$ Once you find someone to adopt a duck, simply have them fill out the adoption form, collect their money, and turn into Mrs. Shute.
$$ There is NOTHING you need to do after the sale! Kiwanis takes care of notifying all the winners and distributing the prizes.
$$ You may sell as many ducks as you want. How much you earn is up to you!
