CANADIANS CAN SAVE WITH
THE "TRY TEMPE CARD"
 Looking
to save a little cash? It's easy with the Try Tempe
Card, an innovative discount program that rewards
some of Tempe's best customers: tourists. The Tempe
Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is
distributing 35,000 of the cards to Tempe visitors,
as well as local groups such as the Arizona State
University Alumni Association.
The Try Tempe Card
is a booklet that lists money saving specials from
participating businesses. The inside spread of the
booklet, which contains a summary of discount
offers, tears out to create a convenient card that
can easily be tucked into a purse or wallet. Offers
include 50% off of ticket prices for select shows
at ASU's Gammage Auditorium, $5 off of a $20
purchase at UNO Chicago Bar and Grill, 2 for 1
round of mini-golf at Fiddlesticks Family Fun Park
and discounts on room rates at a variety of Tempe
hotels.
The Tempe CVB will
allocate a unique version of the card to convention
groups, sporting event participants and other
visitors to Tempe as well. The offers are valid
through April 30, 2004. Try Tempe Cards can be
picked up at the Tempe CVB office: 51 W. Third St.,
Ste. 105 in Tempe.
