On March 10th, 2017 we will be having our annual family dance and silent auction fundraising event. We are looking forward to this as it has typically been a very successful fundraiser. Also, it is wonderful to watch the children dance and play with their friends and family.
Your assistance in obtaining items or gift certificates for the auction is absolutely essential to making this event a success. Please contact any business that you can solicit a donation from. A copy of our donation letter will be emailed out at the same time as this newsletter. Also, I will leave some paper copies outside the class and there is a link to the letter below. Please take this letter with you to local businesses in order to secure donations. Before approaching any business, please take a moment, when dropping off your child, to look at the bulletin board located outside the classroom to ensure that they have not already been contacted. Also, once you have approached a business, please add them to the list of businesses contacted.
We realize this adds extra steps to the process, but we want to be sure that no business is overwhelmed with requests. If you receive any donations or wish to donate any new or gently used items yourself, they can be dropped off inside the classroom or go directly to me.
Please contact me if you want to arrange pick up or drop off of items. My phone number is 780-909-9081 and my email is donations@callingwoodlymburnplayschool.com.
Thank you very much for your anticipated assistance in making our silent auction night a success. I look forward to seeing everyone at our big event!
