3 3 P a g e If your business accepts Bucks from patrons, just treat like money give change back on purchases and keep them secure like cash. PARK COUNTY BUY LOCAL BUCKS Great for gift-giving, employee bonus and customer appreciation. Save money when giving bonuses and write off the purchase as a business expense. Bucks are made of plastic but are NOT credit cards. $5 and $20 cards are good at all participating stores in Livingston and Park County. Bucks work just like cash. Purchase at the Chamber and at 3 Bank of the Rockies locations Clyde Park, Emigrant, Livingston. This is a dollar-for-dollar program. There s no extra cost to purchase the cards. And unlike a gift credit card, it MUST be spent locally, not outside of Park County. Cash Bucks at Bank of the Rockies or return them to the Chamber for a full-value check. You loose nothing in the exchange and you are helping to promote this buy local effort. LIVINGSTON DOLLARS Use these checks for employee holiday bonus and customer appreciation. Save money when giving these instead of payroll checks and write-off purchase as a business expense. Give us a list of recipient names and amounts along with your check to cover the entire amount PLUS a small additional cost of 50 per recipient check. Each Livingston Dollars" check is written directly to the recipient and can be deposited at a bank or cashed at Sky Federal Credit Union.
