Kennedy School discount cards

Many of you are probably familiar with the Brown School discount cards good at such places like Dave's Fresh Pasta and Mr. Crepe. Well, the Kennedy School (Elm St. near Porter Sq) is starting a similar card but with (mostly) different vendors. Now you can support two local schools and save money for yourself and support local businesses all at the same time! For $10 you get a sturdy plastic card showing the places you can get discounts for an entire year. How does 10% off all purchases at Tags Hardware or the newly-moved Stellabella Toys sound? As well as 10% off at the Dunkin' Donuts in Davis Sq. and yummy treats at 10% off at Lyndell's. If you are interested please email me at karen (at) mkmiller (dot) org. Thanks for supporting our Somerville Public Schools! Complete listing of discounts below the cut.

Since there won't be a November 31, 2013, does that mean it's good forever? ;)

Any idea when these will be ready? I already bought mine!

Where can I buy one? Will they be sold at one or more of the listed merchants?

Cool. I need to get some stuff at Tags and I figured I'd wait until I had the card in hand.

Is Spike's not going out of business, he asked hopefully?

I was wondering the same thing.

My understanding is that they agreed to be on the card before the deal with Painted Burro, etc, happened. So it's a race to see if we get the cards before they close!

Looks like Dunkin Donuts, Eat at Jumbo's, and Flatbread Bowling are the only overlap with the Brown School Card.

25% off at OfficeMax could add up to quite a lot. I didn't even realize we still had OfficeMax anywhere in our general area. There used to be one at Twin City Plaza but it closed.

Thanks for the reminder that Dunkie's is on the Brown card...

I'd forgotten it myself. Generally I use my Brown card at Mr. Crepe instead, anyway.

I am definitely interested in where one can get one of these.
Please let us know if you find out.

The date was corrected before the cards were printed. Sorry, but they're now only good until November 30, 2013 ;)

I think this is worthy of its own post.
