Scrip News

O'Brien's Market eScrip application form

Thank you for using Raley's "Quality of Life" and SaveMart "SHARES" cards when shopping.  These are easy ways to raise additional funds for CBS.

Now there's a similar card available from O'Brien's Market.  You just have to fill out an application form and take it to the market.  Everytime you shop, just hand the card to the checker and a percentage of your purchases will be paid to CBS.  The forms and more information are available at the Office and on our Forms page.

PayPal is Here

Additional Options

Just a reminder: we offer the option of using PayPal™ for some online payments.  This is a pilot program, for now limited to our DONATIONS page.  If you already have a personal account with PayPal, you may make payments from there.  If not, it will take your credit card.  

The first time through may be a bit daunting for those "mouse-challenged", but the instructions linked at the top of the page should see you through.  Pay special attention to the last screen--if you don't type in a dedication, we will never get that information, and any reflection of this donation in future will not have it (e.g., in the Bulletin).  One other note:  because PayPal subtracts a fee for this service, your contribution receipt from CBS will only reflect the net amount received (generally, the fee is about 2.2% plus $.30)

The Bulletin Has Gone Green

Our monthly newsletter, the Bulletin, is now available directly from this website.  This will reduce costs for the materials, postage, and labor it takes to print, assemble, and deliver it via "snail" mail.

We are watching every dollar we spend, including the limited number of hours available to staff, and this is the most cost-effective way to communicate with our members.  If you have not shared your email address with CBS and want to receive the Bulletin, please be sure to contact the Office.  Otherwise, just make it a habit to check the BULLETIN page here.

We are aware not all of you have (high-speed) access to the internet; we will print a limited number of issues and mail out to those in this situation.  However, you must contact the Office to receive a hard copy.
