i need fundraising ideas ASAP!
everyone is required to come up with something worth at least $40 for
the fall auction for the girls' preschool. kelly got all excited and wanted her dad, a carpenter, to make a wooden sleigh (he made them for the girls). problem is, he FORGETS about our deadline or maybe even that he agreed to make something to begin with. it's a whole family of procrastinators and it drives me crazy. i kept badgering kelly to remind her dad. she kept saying don't worry about it. so i didn't. figured if we got into trouble with this, maybe it would teach her not to procrastinate. UNLIKELY! then the sign-up sheet went up and i discover we have to have 2 items because we have 2 kids in the school. makes sense. (i have a friend at the preschool with triplets!) any ideas? like basket-filled goodies, services we can perform... i'm open to any ideas. we have to sign-up FRIDAY! pam |

i need fundraising ideas ASAP!
Hi Pam,
I am the LEAST creative person out there. I am trying to think of things that we did in my class when I was teaching Pre-K at a private school. One year we bought a cheap lamp from Wal Mart and decoupaged pictures of the kids in our class onto the base of the lamp and then used their handprints on the lamp shade. Another year we bought an unfinished toy box and painted it. The teacher I co-taught with was a great painter though and it ended up auctioning for over 200. She painted it in a Mackenzie-Childs style. That is all I can think of right now. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

Pam,
Does it have to be something you make? Does it have to be something geared towards kids? If you answered "no" to both of those (lol) then I'd suggest buying some sort of spa gift certificate. Manicure, pedicure, massage, etc. Don't have them put the dollar amount on the certificate, just what service(s) it is for. Those are always very popular at our school silent auction. Another "adult" gift would be a nice basket filled with bottles of wine. Also restaurant gift certificates are very nice. Sorry if none of these will work! Good luck, Ellen -------- Erin 6/26/95 Bradley & Alex 10/5/00 |

thanks for your suggestions. these are exactly the kinds of things i
was looking for. the item does not have to be homemade or geared for kids. one woman lives near the football stadium and auctioned off parking in her driveway for future games. another woman is making 3 holiday pies and giving a pie making demonstration. thanx again pam On Tue, 07 Oct 2003 11:57:58 GMT, (pam ) wrote: |
