101	Anonymous	You just lost $300/month from me.
102	Rose Martin	We are a small community and the stores are parents shop at our No Friils and Zehrs in neighbouring towns. This pull out from fundscrip hurts us. We had parents switch buying practices and purchasing gift cards because they knew it would also help our school. We are extremely disappointed and it is your lose we will shop elsewhere like Sobeys.

111	Mykhala Penney	I think thats very unfair.....
112	Milica Wickert	I was a loyal zehrs customer, but no more. you are a very selfish company that only thinks of the bottom line. Shame on you all. Script is important to small towns with very little chances to raise money for trips and school items.
113	Alan Switzer	My family purchased approximately $600 per month of Loblaws Gift cards through Fundscrip which obviously meant we shopped at Loblaws. Since IGA has not pulled out of Fundscrip, I fully intend to continue to purchase $600 monthly, but it will now go to the IGA group.

115	Anonymous	I spend most of my grocery money in your Loblaws or Maxi stores. I want to continue to shop at these stores but will shop elsewhere if the charity I support (the Montreal Association for the Blind) does not receive a percentage from my grocery purchases. I have six children, one that is blind, and like Fundscrip's program. It helps our family save money while at the same time giving back to an incredible charity that has always been there for us. Your continued involvement with Fundscrip would be greatly appreciated. Joanne
116	Anonymous	I am dumbfounded as to why you would be taking away thousands of people's ability to do two things. 1) help their immediate community and 2) shop in your stores! Makes no sense to me whatsoever and puts a blight on your name, as being uncaring and inflexible. I have a bright beautiful Sobey's in my town that I will be switching to quickly if Loblaws doesn't come back to FundScrip. Shame on you for not helping out your community! Stacey Stone

120	Anonymous	As we love our grandchild, this program was an easy way for us to support her school, and see to it that she receive the very best! As I'm sure you are aware, cutbacks have severely hurt our school system, and FundScrip has helped my grandchild's school to gather many extras for the children! I would think that Loblaws, as a company, would feel pride in helping out the schools. Now ... it feels as if Loblaws has abandoned many schools. Please reconsider!
121	Anita St.Amand	Onward Willow Better Beginnings, Better Futures needs Loblaws on board with Fundscrip. Loblaws help in give us a rebate will help many youth in our community.
122	Anonymous	This program really brought our school community together, in that it was something we could all do, regardless of income level. We all have to buy groceries ... It was great to receive the rebate back to our school from Loblaws. I'm shocked at this news! I will be buying from IGA until this is rectified.
123	Anonymous	It's simple - since IGA offers giftcards - I be shopping there!
124	Anonymous	I would have thought that a large conglomerate such as Loblaws would be able to see the positives of such a program rather than dwell on their own corporate interests over and above the groups that a company such as Fundscrip represents. I am extremely disappointed in Loblaws decision on this matter and strongly appeal to their good senses to change this directive; failing to do so will cause very many people to vote with their feet and $$dollars$$ to show them how they feel about this issue.
125	Araba Monu	It was hard enough to get people to feel comfortable with the idea of pre-shopping with cards, please don't make all that hard work be a waste!
126	Barb Morgan	Very disappointed in Loblaws decision. It was easy to shop and get money back to my school. I will now drive a little further, past Loblaws, to shop at IGA. This is one way I can do my bit for the school.
127	Anonymous	Sad that you won't support our school when so many of our families support your store.

129	Kassandra	Our school was purchasing groceries through No Frills for our Hot Dog days, barbeques, etc. In addition to many of our parents, guess our committees will be taking their shopping down the road to Price Chopper. What a disappointing statement for a company like Loblaws to send to our community! Do you not care about our kids?
130	Jeffrey Stewart	Very disappointed by Loblaw's decision. Hope things change so that I can easily support my son's school again through my grocery shopping - FundScrip made it easy for me to feel like I was making a difference.

134	Jacquie Ross-Zalac	Like most of the small and medium-sized groups, who struggle to find innovative and effective ways to raise funds, working with Fundscrip has been a fabulous fund-raiser for us. If we were to deal directly with the Loblaws chain, in order to earn the rate we currently earn for purchasing through Fundscrip (which is 3.5%), we would have to purchase approximately $4,000 per order. Anything under $2,000 would not earn us anything. Zero, zip, zilch.... (this is as per H.Thomson of Provigo/Loblaws) $4,000 per order is not a feasible amount for most groups. Even if we were able to purchase $4,000 per order, our group simply does not have the resources to manage, sort, reconcile etc... this size of an order. Thankfully, Fundscrip does all this for us. Fundscrip has taken the initiative to link our groups together, therefore allowing us all the ability to make our shopping dollars count. We will now be focusing our attention on your competitors. Where we initially encouraged our members to purchase your cards, visit your stores, and most importantly shop in your stores, now we will explain your decision and actively encourage our members to boycott your stores and honour the stores who remain committed to helping the community through Fundscrip.

136	Carmela Di Benedetto	For our little school (327 students) this Fundraiser has great potential. Since Loblaws is the closest grocer in the area I usually shop there. However, this change in your policy to help our fundraising efforts leaves me no choice but to turn to competitors for my groceries. I am deeply disappointed in your decision.
137	Anonymous	Since I buy a $250.00 gift card every week both in support of our local Zehrs and Fund Scrip at K.T.T.P.S. this a tremendous disappointment to me and will be a significant loss to your business if I am forced to shop at Sobey's...Please reconsider!!
138	Jackie Nesbitt	I support our local fundraisers even though I do not have school age children, my grandchildren will be in the system starting next year and I hope these programs are still running strong. JN

141	Anonymous	Please help us raise funds, I (and my friends) shop a lot at Provigo!
142	Lewis Cavasotto	Zehrs is my grocer of choice but I will now consider shopping more at Sobey's to support our Fundscrip associated school fundraising. L
143	Karen Servage
144	Mary Hutt	I only shop at Zehrs. But if you remove Zehrs from Fundscript, I WILL NO LONGER continue shopping at ANY Loblaws store and will place my business with stores that are willing to help fundraise for our schools that are soo underfunded by the government!

148	Barb	I urge you to reconsider your decision. This is one of the best ways of fundraising that I have been part of in my son's 10 years of school. I will continue to purchase gift cards for my groceries. Your decision to restrict the sale of your gift cards forces me to shop at the competition rather than at Zehrs and No Frills which are two of my preferred stores.
149	Laurel Venney
150	Angela Cunningham	What a disappointment. I will just do the majority of my shopping at Metro which is closer to my home and still allows me to benefit from the easy use of store coupons and allows us to benefit our children's schools as well.
