Franklin County First and Enosburg HS

Dear Friends,

Franklin County First is free opportunity to promote your business while helping the Enosburg Falls HS Senior class.
Win - Win - Win
Yesterday, I met with the Senior Class advisor at Enosburg HS and we agreed to offer the Franklin County First coupon program as a fundraiser for the Senior Class trip. Cards are sold to the community for $20 and the class makes $10 on each card. In addition, the Senior who sells the most cards will be awarded a scholarship from the Franklin County Regional Chamber in the amount of an additional 25% of all sales.
 
The program currently contains 28 coupon offers from 25 Franklin County businesses valued at over $1,200.
 
I want to encourage all businesses in the Enosburg HS area to join the program and add additional local value to the cards sold in your area. There is no cost to you and I am working with the Enosburg Business Association to make this offer open to Chamber members and non-members alike - no catch.
 
Simply go to http://www.FranklinCountyFirstVT.com and click on "Sign Up Your Business!" 
 
In addition to the cards being sold in Enosburg, BFA-St. Albans has already begun selling tickets to support their seniors and these card holders will be able to take advantage of your offer as well. Similar opportunities are being presented to MVU, Richford, and BFA-Fairfax.
Thank you for your continued support of the Chamber in your community. We strive to be an integral part of your business strategy.
 
Sincerely, 
Dave Southwick, Executive Director
