Previous years, we have had:
Yankee Candle (the service was
not up to par, so we dropped that one)
Foam and Wash (this was run by the
Drama Club to raise funds for them)
Gertrude
Hawke
The After School Clubs bring in some
cash which had been directed to the Track Fund, but could be changed.
Ultimate Discount Cards: George Basin (gpb@earthlink.net) is the contact.
The chairperson for this would do the following:
--Give George a number of students. He will need to know our student count so he can send the appropriate number of order envelopes.
--Proof read/ update the cover letter. He also writes up a cover letter, so ask to see that and make any changes needed before he prints it up.
--Make sure the order envelopes get sent home
--Collect and collate the orders
--Let George know how many cards to send us (order 10 extra so we have them for late comers)
--Tally up who earned incentive prizes and let George know this so he can send them to the school.
--Distribute incentive prizes to those who earned them.
