Parents needing a guide before back-to-school shopping consumes their checkbooks need to look no further than the Aug. 4 special edition published by the Opelika-Auburn News to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Lee County.
This special section will not be found in your daily newspaper subscription.
Instead, it will be sold individually for $2 at a variety of strategic locations by volunteers who will serve as newsboys for a day.
If you see a recognizable face hawking newspapers on Aug. 4, it’s a good bet you’ve found the publication.
Why purchase the product, published just in time before the Aug. 7-9 tax-free holiday?
Information contained inside will tell parents how to save money — much more than the $2 spent on the edition.
You will know where key sales are sales that could specifically target items you’ll be looking for.
Kids will need school supplies.
Kids will need new clothes.
Kids will need new shoes.
This guide can tell you where to get them.
The publication will also be chock full of useful school information dates, contact telephone numbers, etc.
Another reason for investing in the guide is supporting The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Lee County. Who wouldn’t want to support this organization? The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County supports children all over the county.
All proceeds from the edition will go directly to the Boys & Girls Clubs.
The Boys and Girls Clubs are still looking for volunteers to help sell the edition on Aug. 4.
People willing to help in this very important production are urged to call the Clubs at 334-502-1311 or visit their Web site at www.bgcleeco.org.
Opportunities to help your community and yourself at the same time don’t come along every day.
We urge you to take advantage of this one, and support the Boys & Girls Clubs.
