Gift Checkbooks are the Perfect Stocking Stuffers!

Dear Fine Arts Students & Families:


Back by popular demand, Downers Grove North Friends of Fine Arts is excited to launch one of our most popular fundraisers, the Gift Checkbooks!  Just in time for the holidays, these checkbooks will make great holiday gifts and stocking stuffers!  The book contains 30 gift-checks that work like cash at great local restaurants and businesses.  With the majority of the checks ranging in value from $10 up to $119, the total value of the 30 gift-checks is over $480!  At a cost of only $30, this checkbook pays for itself with the use of just 2-3 checks!  A few highlights:  $10 Country House; $10 Tivoli Bowl; $25 Pinstripes; $20 Carlucci's; $26 SportClips, $119 Spenga  and $5 Culvers.
