Introducing The Center On Central’s membership program!
Now in our third year, The Center On Central has grown to be Your Home for Creative Arts. We’d like to reward our loyal clientele and thank you for your support with a no-risk offer!
How it works:
For a $79 investment ($20 off the beginning-of-year price), you and your household are entitled to a 10% discount on all in-house offerings at The Center On Central through the end of 2012. This includes our weekly classes, therapy sessions, music lessons, workshops, Parents’ Night Out/Kids’ Night In, day camps, birthday parties and more! Summer camp clientele may want to note that we are phasing out our early bird discounts and offering other premiums to early registrants, which you will be able to enjoy in conjunction with your membership discount.
The no-risk part:
If you do not save at least $79 during your membership term, The Center On Central will issue you a gift certificate for the difference between your membership investment cost and the amount you saved during your membership term — good for use between January 1 and June 30, 2013.
Restrictions:
Membership cannot be combined with other promotional discounts, unless specifically stated in the promotion.
In addition, we are joining forces with local vendors who are happy to offer our members a 10% discount!
Check back periodically, since we are adding more vendors to the discount program for members of The Center on Central.
