Here’s how to do it:
Go BLOOMINBUCKS.COM
On the front page, it asks you to select your organization.
Scroll down and look for ESSEX GARDEN CLUB, INC (we are the only Essex listed)
Hit the green GO! Button.
Next you will see a disclaimer – fundraising orders are not allowed additional discounts, where applicable. Usually, it only affects items “on sale”.
If you “CONTINUE”, then you are in the regular Brent and Becky catalog and can order what you like. Generally, our club receives back 25 % of the order – THAT’S A GREAT CONTRIBUTION!!!
