10/19/2007: "Do Not Buy That Magnet!"

There is a scam in progress in the county. A company in San Antonio Texas called "All School Fundraising Company" is calling local Island businesses and attempting to solicit advertising for a Friday Harbor High School refrigerator magnet. If you want to help FHHS, this is not the way to do it.

Superintendent Michael Soltman has sent out an email stating " This "fundraiser" has not been authorized by the Superintendent or Board of Directors, and the school district is receiving no funds from the company. We want to make our businesses aware of this company's solicitation, and to urge them not to participate.

Soltman added that "We deeply appreciate the support of our business community, and regret that this has occurred. Thanks for passing the word."
