What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization.
How scrip generates revenue for you
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is our organization's revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising"
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don't have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.

Jessica has held a first place ranking for American swimmers in the breast stroke and the 200 IM in her classification for some time now, and is proud to now also claim an American records in these events for short course yards. The previous breast stroke record was set in 2002 and she beat the time by 16 seconds during her race on Saturday.
Jessica hopes to make progress toward American records for these events in long
course meters in December at the Canadian American Championships held in Toronto.

Many of the FISH just completed our first team-hosted meet,
the November Open, at Cub Run.
There were lots of best times, and many swimmers will be receiving
patches soon for their accomplishments.
This was perhaps one of the best November Opens we've ever swum in. I can't remember so many JO and Tom
Dolan cuts, and I can't remember so many swimmers earning new patches.
This was also one of the best team-run November Opens we've ever hosted. Thanks go to all the coaches and parents who made it happen.
Please follow this link to view your best times.
