After doing some more research, and then calling Sostanza to verify, Sostanza only accepts the $25 gift certificates from Restaurant.com (where other restaurants accept $50) So, it is true that through Sostanza you need to purchase a minimum amount of $50 with your $25 gift certificate. So, with you paying $10 for your gift certificate, you will end up paying $35 for a $50 meal. (Thanks Stacey for helping clear that up!)
Let me know what everyone thinks about this. I still think its a good deal, but it isn't as good as anticipated (at least locally), so what are all of your thoughts on this fundraiser? Let me know- we need to make as much money as possible to pay for our choreography, but there are other fundraiser options. Perhaps this could be an optional fundraiser?
Please leave a comment and let me know how you feel. Thanks for your help and understanding.
