After School Detention

We have launched a new discount program to help get kids in the skatepark throughout the school week. It will be a buy one get one free for sessions #3 and #4 on school days Monday through Thursday. Basically if they show up anytime during session #3 they can buy that session and skate the remainder of that session and also get session #4 for free. We want kids to come here after school and not have to worry about being in between sessions. There will be a SKU coupon in the book. Please note this is only for school days, any holidays are excluded, check the calendar for all the dates we are running the incentive.

Check Your Big Bills

Bogus bills being passed in Jefferson County

05:05 PM CDT on Monday, August 17, 2009

HILLSBORO, Mo. (AP) -- Businesses in Jefferson County have been warned to be on the lookout for counterfeit $100 bills being passed in the community.

Sheriff Glenn Boyer said several counterfeit $100 bills have been passed in recent days at businesses in the northern part of the county.

He said they are actually $5 bills that have been washed and made to look like $100 bills. They'll pass the test of a special pen used to detect fake bills because the bills are authentic currency, just not the right amount.

Boyer suggests two other ways to detect fake bills: hold the bill up to the light and look for the Lincoln face in the lower right corner, or a strip in the bill that says "U.S. Five Dollars."

Calendar

I added a link to the Plan Nine Calendar on the blog. With the skatepark now in full swing we will be doing events regularly. This calendar will display all the events for the company both at the park and not as well as meeting and staff events. Please check it regularly and know what is going on with Plan Nine.

All Nighter

Thanks to everyone that came out last night! The all nighter was a huge success! Everyone stepped up and helped out, you could tell the kids really appreciated it. We have decided to make this a monthly event so mark you calendars, Plan Nine Skatepark All Nighter, second Friday of every month.

Kidgits Club at St. Louis Mills

We are working with the Kidgits Club at the Mills Mall on a few things this fall. First, we have a coupon on the Kidgits coupon sheet (see image) that is valid for a buy one get one free session at the skatepark. This is valid only to Kidgits Club members and only for the same day. The child using both free session and the child using the paid session must both be Kidgits Club members (or the same child) in order to receive the free session. They should have a card that looks similar to this graphic (see image). There will be a coupon tag in the book.

Also, we are doing a Kidgits Club session at the skatepark on Sept 15th for the 4:45 session. The event will be for Kidgits Club members only and will feature instruction, demos, and activities. For more info please visit http://www.simon.com/kidgits/
