Well, we had our DI parent meeting tonight at our house and we are TRYING to raise $5000 JUST to pay with
registration fees ($4000) and the shirts and stuff for the kids. ALL of our rooms, food and gas is extra. ALL we keep hearing about is the PIN trading. They say each kid needs
at least 30 pins each and they are $4 each...That is $120 x 7 kids.
Some of are ideas we came up with is selling
Popsicles at recess, Car wash, Market day for the month of May, Movie night at school, Chuck E
Chee$e night,
Elsbury certificates and hitting up businesses in the area:)
The meeting did get us ALL excited for the kids and what they are going to experience.

What about bake sale and Fazolis? Asking PTA and school?
I saw that you are addicted to reading adoption blogs...me too! I have to admit I am the same way...I just love them!
The trusty bake sale is always a good one...or how about a staff luncheon? We know the staff likes to eat...why not charge them for it??
what part of TN are you coming to ??? congrats on the wins and hope the fundraising goes well ... you know Applebees does one meal a month as a fundraiser ... all you have to do is sell tickets ... i think Chick Fila does the same ...
Wow...it's expensive! I'm sure it will be worth every fundraising penny though. I know the keychain making thing worked for us (in Kindergarten--ask Samantha! she's a pro!)and having a walk-a-thon did wonders too. Have you thought about asking corporate sponsors (a-hem...cummins)? Has the paper picked up on the story yet? If so, that would be a good way to get the word out that the kids need $$$$$! Good luck!
