Entertainment Book - 2009

Last day to purchase: November 30, 2008!

The 2009 Entertainment Savings Book will be available through BAEOP starting in August. It has something for everyone and you can start using the money savings coupons as soon as you get your book. It pays for itself in just a few uses, because it is loaded with 50% off discounts on things most people do every day. Give the gift that is always the perfect size, color and style. Give the gift of Entertainment. For friends and family, a year's worth of savings on dining, shopping, travel, recreation and much more, makes a great gift for any occasion.

You can pre-order the "Greater Seattle / Eastside Book" for our special reduced rate of $20.00, from any BAEOP member, the Office Manager at your school or by contacting Christy Ansari at (4595).

Or if you want to get a gift for someone out of town, you may go online and order a book from any of the 160 cities across the country, at our special discounted rate (prices may vary depending on the city), plus $5.00 for shipping and handling.

1. When ordering online, go to www.entertainment.com/support and enter the group account number for BAEOP (128903) and press Preview.
2. At the top of the next screen you will see a green box that says, "A portion of your purchase amount will go to support BAEOP ."
3. Click on "View All Books". This will take you to a page that displays the various cities that currently have the 2008 Entertainment Book. Select the appropriate city to view their discounted rate.
4. Then press "Buy the Book" and fill in the appropriate information to order the book(s) of your choice. The book(s) will be mailed directly to the address you designate.

We had an amazing year of Entertainment Book sales this year and have raised nearly $1,600 for the Scholarship Fund. As a result, we have decided to offer three $500 Member Dependent Scholarships, three $200 Members Scholarships and donate $250 to support the BSD Summer School Scholarship program. Thanks for everyone’s support.

Spring Raffle Baskets

Spring Raffle Baskets

Raffle Baskets 2008

This year BAEOP provided two wonderful baskets to be raffled, with net proceeds of $518.00 going to the BAEOP Scholarship Fund.

“Let’s Have a Party” was won by Ortansa McDonald the Career Specialist at Sammamish High and “Take Five” was won by Kelly Martineau the VIBES Coordinator at ESC. Kelly’s ticket was anonomously purchased and entered in the drawing. We found it very interesting -- this is the same thing that happened last year. The basket was won by Linda Hawkins, Executive Director of Special Education at ESC and the ticket was purchased by an anonymous doner. Doesn’t make you think twice about getting a job at ESC?
