Attention Members!
Rice Lake Gift Certificates are easy to use and accept!
Over the Holidays and throughout the year we have sold over $50,000 worth of Rice Lake Gift Certificates. There are many of them out there to be used yet.
Please accept them as if they were cash. The merchant when he deposits them (as a check) into his account receives the full value of the certificate. We have tried to keep the certificate values low so that it is easier for you to give change back if needed.
We ask that you inform your employees about the certificates and make sure that they are accepting them.
These gift certificates are keeping spending local! Help us support our local businesses and members!
