Spring 2012
Hey area Buckeyes, are you planning to buy Buckeye
clothes, music, or a big inflatable Brutus this year?
If so, buy from the store that gives a hefty sum
back to our club.
College Traditions
(www.collegetraditions.com, 800-628-4678)
has a program where our own Sacramento Valley club
receives 15% of your total bill just for shopping with
them. So, if you are thinking about buying something,
ANYTHING, that is Buckeye related, check with
College Traditions and you’ll be giving back to the
club.
All you have to do is give them our club code:
AL9563
You can order by phone or on the ‘net. If you order by
phone, provide the code or let them know that you are
from the Sacramento Valley club.
We will receive a portion of your purchase to use for
our scholarship fund!
Your alumni club and future OSU student scholarship
recipients THANK YOU!
