We are in need of committee volunteers to assist Danah Veitenthal who was nominated as Fundraising Board Member this year. This is a huge role to fill and really needs more than one person to handle this job year long. Duties might include arranging fundraising dates, collecting money, emailing or phoning parents, arranging fundraising items for delivery, etc. If you are interested in helping out with Fundraising, please contact Rebekah Moorehead, President.
We are getting ready to start sewing the pillows for the Uniform Fundraiser. We need more sewers and could also use help with cutting patterns, ironing, etc. Some parents had showed interest in helping, could you please reach out to Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com and let her know you are still wanting to help.
If you've completed Orientation but are waiting for TEAM alcohol training, or if your TEAM is expired, wait no more! Centerplate has given us permission to train our own volunteers!! Contact Kymi or Rebekah ASAP to schedule your training and start earning towards your fundraising fair share!
