The CPLBC is eligible to participate to a maximum of $1,000.00 during the period from June 4, 2010 to May 7, 2011. The approved project is for the purchase of new or good quality used bowls for the club. There is a special need for smaller sized bowls for training novice bowlers.

Here is how the Smile Card Program works:

  • Obtain a Smile Card from the Club Coordinator Ruth Suter (250-721-9904, e-mail gsuter@telus.net).
  • Take the card to any Thriftys Service Counter, and load up the card using cash, debit card or credit card in an amount that reflects your estimated purchases over say a week, month or longer. Let’s say the amount is $400.00. The minute this amount is loaded on to your Smile Card, the CPLBC account is credited with 5% of that amount ($20.00) towards the approved project. The Club receives accrued funds monthly.
  • This program has no cost to you. It is an easy way for customers to earn funds for their organization just by shopping at a Thriftys store. If we as a Club spend $20,000.00 at Thriftys before May 7, 2011, the Club receives the full $1,000.00.
