Do they
make good gifts?

you are giving the gift of choice. Your gift certificates are

an insert listing participating businesses. Teachers, coaches,
students and senior citizens love choosing where to spend them
and on what, whether it’s for a splurge, a night out, entertainment,
a snack or a trinket. Thank a teacher or a coach for helping your
child. Treat your child, your grandchild, your niece or nephew,
