Reusable Bags & MORE On Sale Now

Now that I have the catalogs it is NOT just Reusable Bags that Mixed Bag Designs are now selling. Be sure to check out their full catalog. (If you do not have a garlic peeler, I HIGHLY recommend it.) Meanwhile, it has been a few years since we sold reusable bags as a fundraiser, and I understand a few of you are looking for the bags they know and love. Search for “Grocery Store” bags on the website or look for them in the catalog. They have a whole bunch of new sizes now (Drug Store, Department Store, etc). Stop by and see some samples in the school office.
There are TWO ways to buy: There was an order form and catalog in last week’s Friday Folder. Send the order form and check to school by February 22^nd. OR you can buy online at www.mixedbagdesigns.com/?fundraiserid=39725 (Feel free to share this link with out-of-town friends & family) We appreciate your support! If you have any questions, please contact Joanna Waggoner at Joanna.c.Waggoner@gmail.com
