Fundraising at the Year-End Show (Ceili)


Dear NPIDA Families;

Well, with just over a month to go, plans are fully in swing to make this the best year-end show and an important fundraising event for EBIDS. Barb P and Leanne A are again coordinating this important part of the event in hopes of raising more money to support our dancers. Costumes, travel, teacher training and guest instructors are all the things that this fundraising so valuably supports.

We are again hoping that parents will be able to help solicit and visit local suppliers, contacts and friends to get donations. The kinds of things we are looking for would include gift certificates, gift baskets, toys, clothes, services, wine, new household items or anything else that can be raffled.

Further details from Leanne:

This year, again, I will also be taking cash donations. If you're like me with limited time, this can be a much less stressful option. I will use the funds to purchase some fun toys/gadgets - maybe an iPod, more of those ever favorite TNA hoodies or Iviva work out gear!  If you are able to find or donate items to the auction, I need the following:

1. An email asap telling me about the item: leannearmstrongATshaw.ca.   
2. Description
3. Value
4. Who is making the donation (we are happy to recognize people).
5. Contact details
6. Method for delivery. It would be best if donations could be dropped off to me either at home or at the studio. I am sure that items coming from Richmond can be transferred to North Van by Nora or Courtney but if you have any problems getting me things, please let me know and I'll make other arrangements.

If you are able to make a cash donation, please let me know as soon as possible. Cheques, made payable to me personally or cash can be left at the studio in an envelope addressed to me. Please send me an email if you are doing this so that I make sure all donations are accounted for.

In order to allow me time to be ready for the event, I need all goods and cash to buy goods (or send Gary to Future Shop) no later than Tuesday, May 8, 2011.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

COBS BREADS

Another way that we are painlessly going to do fundraising is through Cobs Breads. Gillian S has registered Eire Born with the locations in Edgemont Village and Parkgate Village. When you are buying your usual bread and buns, just mention that you are supporting the Eire Born Account and they will donate 5% of all proceeds back to us. Many of us are there anyway so what a painless way to support our dancers! Thanks to Gillian for organizing!
