RAFT Back to School Begins Saturday, August 6th, 3 weekends of specials!

RAFT’s Back to School event, our signature member event, will be bigger and better than ever.  We’ve listened – the event won’t be just a single weekend which might not fit with your schedule and which always included long lines, but will be spread over the month of August.  Each week will feature specific items, while supplies last.  The event will also be at both our Redwood City and San Jose locations, both sites will be open their regular hours, except as noted below.  Both sites will feature the same specials, making it even more convenient for you.  Below are examples of the items that will be featured each week.
