If you live in the Bloomfield Hills School district you may be receiving a visit from members of the Andover or Lahser football team. They are raising money for their football programs and to do so they are selling what last year those in the City of Bloomfield Hills called the "Lahser" Football card . This year it is the Andover/ Lahser Bloomfield Football card and next year after the school consolidation it will be the Bloomfield High School Football Card.
What the kids are asking for is essentially the same thing you ask of them. Namely to play to the best of their ability and represent the community well. To do so they need your support. $20 to be exact and here is where it gets interesting. If you play your card right it shouldn't cost you anything. Don't we tell the kids to plan your work and to work your plan or something like that ?
If you are planning a medium grade purchase of $50 or more at Sears, Dick's Sporting Goods, or the the Sports Authority your card comes with a $10 off discount coupon for each of the above retailers valid now through Dec 31st 2013. Not bad for a kayak or an air compressor purchase.
Like to dine out ? Your card comes with key fobs for 20% discounts at The Moose Preserve in Bloomfield Hills and the Lodge in Keego Harbor. These are on going repeat use discounts good through June 30th 2013. The back of the card includes a dozen or more 10% off, or free beverage with purchase offers for a dozen or more fine or casual
dining , or pizza establishments in the neighborhood.
Of course there is more Does your mobile phone need an accessory ? Your Bloomfield Andover/ Lahser Football savings card has a 15% off coupon good for that purpose at Best Buy.
And there is still more! You can find more coupons on line. Just enter the code or your card. You can even download a mobile app to access mobile discounts The app, normally $5.95 is free with your card.
Is there a down side ? Not really but to be perfectly honest even dedicated Lahser (now Andover/Lahser) football card enthusiasts do sometimes experience a bit of a sophomore slump. Admittedly winning or striving to play the discount game at the championship level is never easy but it is worth the effort. What did Robert Browning say ? I think he said "Man's reach should exceed his grasp or what is a heaven for ?"Most likely Browning would be very good at using his Lahser/Andover Football Card.
Even if card privileges have been ignored or forgotten the best is yet to come!, many of the discounts in the included in last years coupon book are still are valid through. December 31st 2012.
Last year La Marsa Restaurant was a proud sponsor the Lahser Card. This year they are a proud sponsor of the Lahser/Andover Bloomfield Football Card. Last year they offered an ongoing 20% discount which ended July 31st 2012. This year they are offering a 10% discount on an ongoing basis through June 30th 2013. What does that mean ? It means last year many people used the card. To put it in sports speak the offer, like a fumbled football in the opponent's end zone was was something to pounce on. Now you get the ball at the twenty yard but it is still a potential dining out game changer.
The Football teams at Lahser and Andover need your support and are offering you what you value, Money through discounts. Thanks to the generosity of merchants who will benefit from your long term patronage. That's three wins and no losses and 3-0 is not a bad way to start the season..
If you have missed connections by with your football playing concierges, by being out of town or whatever, call the schools. They'll set you up and then you can say "Go Barrons" or "Go Knights" before you go shopping or dining.
