Brown School Card?

[wallacestreet.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I was out of town for ArtBeat and missed my annual opportunity to buy a Brown School Card. Someone here must know whom to contact about buying a 2007-2008 card before my current one expires.

Thanks!

http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/ -- not sure if that helps. I don't quite know what a Brown School Card is, unfortunately...

A Brown School Card is a plastic card that entitles you to a discount at various Davis-area businesses. Buying it supports various programs at the Brown School, which is a public elementary school near Davis Square.

I don't think the Arts Council will help, as they're not involved with this program.

Chinook on Holland sells 'em.

Sadly, Johnny D's has again reduced their benefit. It's particularly sad because before the dropped it to only $5 off, I would go there all the time for drinks, and now I don't, so they're making way less money off of me now. And the next card is only $3 off.

ah ok, sorry.

I got my last one at McIntyre & Moore, not sure if they're selling them this year.

make sure to tell *them* that, not just us. :)

I talked to one of the owners when they reduced it last year and was told they just lost too much money because of it. I know I wasn't the only one who was there a lot more often (and buying a lot more drinks) because of the discount, but they don't see it that way. The further reduction this year make clear that they really don't care about drumming up more business via the card.

Ah well.

Unfortunately, I haven't really gotten my money's worth from the card since the Someday Cafe closed. But I'll keep buying them anyway.

20% off food at Redbones always has me making back my investment in a month or 2.

(Not that I know if that's one of the offers this year...)

Ditto, I've bought my last two there. I didn't even realize they sold them at Art Beat.
