Scott's View

Welcome to our Part II newsletter about back to school offers for the students in your family. And stock up on them because these deals are outstanding bargains for your home and office, too!

Special thanks to 1800Flowers, the parent company of Cheryl's Cookies, and Dell, in particular. Each partner provides you with combinable discounts with general public sales, which is a huge plus to ensure you get the best deal available. Both have been providing VetRewards Exclusives to those who served and their families for a combined 24 years!

Finally, our current TopVet is a real inspiration to students, from kindergarten to graduate school. Mark Maybury is chief technology officer for Stanley Black & Decker, one of our nation’s iconic and most trusted brands. In addition to CTO, he has held many distinctions and titles, including Chief Scientist of the Air Force, college valedictorian, a Cambridge educated Ph.D., and a role model and hockey coach for his three kids and their teammates. We are grateful for his service to our country, and for inspiring others about the power of new technologies and the power within all of us. Check out Mark’s story today.
