January 4, 2016 WINTER GALA INFORMATION - PLEASE READ

ALL FAMILIES WHO DO NOT PAY OUT OF FUNDRAISING NEED TO SUBMIT THESE 2 THINGS:

1. Send in $5 per student (or more) NOW for the Cooler Cash event during the Winter Gala.

We're sending an envelope home for your convenience in sending back the $5 or more per student! The more money we get, the more money we can put in the coolers!!

We take the cash and wrap it up in 8 different bundles ranging $75 - $350.

Those bundles are mixed up and tossed into the coolers with no one knowing what is in each cooler. Patrons bid on the coolers. Top bidder at the end of the evening pays their bid for the cooler and that patron gets to keep the cooler and its contents!

2. Each family is asked to send in a donation for the Live, Silent, or Chinese Auctions! You can:

  1. Donate something yourself (Gift cards/piece of art/rod & reel/jewelry/ etc.)
  2. Get together with other parents and donate a good or a service (guided fishing trip/party for 20/TV/stay at a condo or hotel/tickets to Spurs game/ ??) OR
  3. Acquire a donation from a business or individual (Who do you do business with? You could get an Oil Change/Gift Card to Restaurant, Retail Store, or Hotel/ Sporting Goods/
