Spring Fling – A ‘Smart’ Fundraising Event!



I’m thrilled to share some details of a fundraising event I’m holding in early March to raise funds for my son’s elementary school. As part of the fundraising committee on the Parent Council I’ve been involved in a number of fundraising activities within the school & around the community but I wanted to reach out to my amazing Stampin’ Up! family of friends and put on a Spring event that you’ll love, while raising money to get the school their next SMARTBOARD learning tool!

The school currently has 8 projectors, but only 5 Smartboards, so the money raised from this event would go directly to the purchase another! For those unfamiliar with ‘Smartboards’ – they are interactive learning screens for the classroom! They are tremendously effective with the kids…but costly… with each board running around $2,300 for the screen alone!

I hope you’ll consider coming out, making 20 wonderful cards and supporting a great cause!

When: Saturday March 6, 2010
Time: 9am to 12noon

Where: St. David Catholic School in Dorchester (3966 Catherine Street)

What: This will be a card making event like no other! Guests will be treated a wonderful day with friends, making 20 cards (with coordinating envelopes), snacks, prizes and FUN!

Best of all $15 from the sale of each guest ticket will go directly to the school for the purchase of a Smartboard! I can’t think of a better way to raise money for such an important cause – the education of our youth!

Cost: $55 event fee (for either bundle option listed below)

The cost of the event will include your very own stamp set + an ink pad + 20 projects to complete during the event and take home with you!

Well Scripted (either wooden block set or clear block set)
'C' Block for clear block option ONLY
Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad

NOTE: If you already have any of these products, you can still participate in the event. You must bring your own products for use during the event and order substitute products of equal value (prior to the event RSVP date). Because this is a fundraiser, there will NOT be any adjustments for substituted products of a lesser value. Thanks for your understanding.

All project material will be pre-cut so that you can enjoy stamping (rather than measuring)! No experience is needed to attend this event.

Please RSVP by Sunday February 21st in order to ensure your stamp set arrives in time for the event. When you reply with your interest to attend, you'll need to indicate what bundle you want as well as any substitutes if applicable.

Option #1 - New Clear Block Bundle
Option #2 - Traditional Wooden Block Bundle

Bring-A-New Friend Draw:
Those that RSVP by Sunday February 21st with a friend who is new to Stampin' Up! or new to myself will be entered into a draw for another FREE stamp set – I will announce 1 winner at the event from this incentive!!

Here's a picture of the stamp set & ink pad you'll get to take home with you. Remember, if you have these items...you can simply substitute for another set/color, or items of equal value!! Click here to look around on my online store.
