Don't miss this trip! It's a great experience! Just ask any students who have gone before. The fall fundraisers will start right away… FAST & FURIOUS! Think about lining up your "customers" now. All students are encouraged to participate in these fundraisers, but if parents have other plans, that's fine too…

5. For March: we’ll do Pizza Hut Value Cards: a plastic card with $75 worth of peel-off discounts. Students sell for $8 each, make $5 per card/ 62% profit!
For Nov./Dec.: Parents offered to research gifts at Bragg Farm or Morse Farm, check out Holiday Trees for “choose & cut” and if both fail we’ll do Red Barn (Vt Products)….

Spaghetti Dinner. Friday, April 3
…. MARK YOUR 2009 CALENDAR! This is a true group effort and LOTS of fun! We’ll need all the help we can get on this one! At this event we work together to raise money for scholarships for classmates who have not been able to raise all the money they need… especially for those with economic limitations and kids who have worked hard… It is a very gratifying evening. Need help with publicity, selling tickets, getting food donations, decorating, wait staff, cooking, cleanup, etc. Watch for meeting dates in U-32 Newsletter or website.

Silent Auction at Spaghetti Dinner
Students collect donated items or services from local businesses/family/neighbors/self. Goods are displayed with a bid sheet for each item. People write down bids all evening. At end of event, person with highest bid wins! Winners can pay at cash-out table that night, or we will call them after the event. Money goes to individual accounts. We will need help with computer list of items, bid sheets, publicity, setting up that day, cash out table, clean up, etc. 100% profit! Looking for a coordinator…

Raffle
: drawing at Spaghetti Dinner…. see above Annual raffles have been very successful, especially if we can get a few BIG prizes! Students can sell tickets for their individual accounts prior to the Spaghetti Dinner. 100% profit! If you have any ideas for BIG prizes, please contact Sally.
