NEWPORT COUNTY DINNER CLUB
Dear Parents,
The Portsmouth Middle School PTO has joined with the Newport County Dinner Club, benefiting
both our school and our appetites! The Newport County Dinner Club is the premier dining program
in Newport County, and focuses on the restaurants we love and visit frequently. It offers
2 for 1 dinners, lunches and breakfasts at 50 local establishments including entertainment
venues like the Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant. Don’t eat out without it!
The Newport County Dinner Club dining program costs only $20.00 (paying for itself with just
one or two dinners) and $5.00 from each book sale goes to the Porthsmouth Middle School. That is
not only a terrific value for you and your family, but a great benefit to your school. The 2022-2023
Newport County Dinner Club book is valid December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023
and is a terrific holiday and thank you gift.
We encourage you to purchase one for your family and challenge you to ask your friends and
neighbors to purchase one or many! As an incentive:
Attached is a flyer and sign-up sheet. Payment is made to the Portsmouth Middle School PTO, and books will be given to the student participants in December for distribution. Please return the enclosed form and attached checks by Dec 9th!
Thank you for your support of The Portsmouth Middle School!
Every student that sells 15 books will receive a $10 gift certificate
to Ben & Jerry’s! For every student that sells 30 books they will
receive a $25 gift card to Amazon!
