Prepayment Program
Hello:
My name is Maryann Ganley and I am the new General Manager for your child's cafeteria. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that we have a prepayment program. This makes it easier for you to pay for your child's lunches. They no longer have to carry cash for lunch every day. The cards are refillable and can only be used for lunch. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me @ 732.229.3623.
Sincerely,
Maryann Ganley
