Annual Century Fundraiser 2008

Dear Parents, please click here for a copy of the letter that was sent home with your student, about the Century Fundraiser. Fall 2008 fundraiser letter

ABOB's annual cheese and sausage fundraiser kicks off today. There is now a VERY neat web site for us and the students to use for placing orders. The high school students will be able to log-on by selecting "Student" from the home page and invite friends and family to shop and place an order via e-mail.

Please check out the link below and e-mail to friends and family. If you buy on-line by selecting "Save Student Information and Shop", the student will receive profit from orders placed on-line by Sept. 11. ABOB will continue to receive profit from orders placed on-line throughout the year. So, when Super Bowl Sunday rolls along and you need cheese and sausage and other snacks for your party, check out centuryresources.com.
