Buy SCRIP Cards for graduation gifts!
Did you know that Kwik Trip cards make great graduation gifts? And, did you know that if you buy the majority of your gas at Kwik Trip, you could pre-pay for your gas AND help the Club at the same time? A $100 Kwik Trip card immediately creates $5 for the Club and any in-store purchases creates another 5% donation. Isn't that great?  You're probably going there anyway, so why not help the Club by purchasing Kwik Trip Cards?
 
A card order will be placed soon, so if you have a special need for this Spring's graduations, please email romnrotary@gmail.com with how many and what denomination you'd like. We generally keep $25, $50 and $100 cards on-hand. You can order $5 or $10 cards if you prefer. Get your orders in today!
