ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS 2008/9 —- Dine—– Shop —–Travel —–Save:

The new books will be available at the Sept. meeting, for your entertaining, shopping, and dining before Christmas. These books are a major fund raiser for the chapter. Place your order with Mel Matthias, or if you live in Oakville, with Hugh Cass. Sell a book or books to your neighbors. How much can you save? The first coupon saved the Cass family $20.00 on a gift from Carlton Cards. The second coupon saved them $15.00 on two meals for the price of one. These two coupons paid for their entertainment book last fall. They have had many (two for the price of one) meals and treats since then, and have given books as gifts. There are two for the price of one coupons for museums, Dundurn Castle, Royal Botanical Gardens, Canadian Warplane Heritage, and many others plus coupons for golf, store discounts, concerts, car rentals, fine dinning, and much more. Did you know that dry cleaners in Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton accept coupons from the entertainment book? We also sell entertainment books for the Toronto area.
