Fundraising Activities
Grocery Certificates – There is no way around it – you have to grocery shop! So how about earning money for your choir student’s account while you’re pushing that cart! All you need to do is purchase grocery certificates for Hollywood or Oakridge grocery stores. The school receives 5% of whatever amount you purchase. Four percent of the money goes directly into your child's account and one percent goes to the choir. If you spend $100.00 on grocery certificates you receive $4.00 in your child's account. Think of how much you spend in a month on groceries! Currently, certificates are sold during lunch, outside the auditorium, the last Friday of each month. The next date is 11/30/07.
They are also available at choir concerts and by contacting Diane Flynn-Hahn at (248) 548-7445 or dfhahn@schoolcraft.edu
Turn those groceries into savings!
Details are still being hammered out so we can add Kroger to the list of participating stores.
If you have any questions, please contact Diane Flynn-Hahn at 248.548.7445 or dfhahn@schoolcraf.edu or Jeanne Dolson at 248.547.4523 or jmdolson@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
Innisbrook – The holidays are just around the corner! Wrapping paper, gourmet chocolates and many other gifts items can be found at innisbrook.com. Our group number is 104048. A 50% profit will be applied to your student’s account.
The fall fundraising top sellers were MA and LC. They each received a $30 gift certificate to Noodles & Company. Congratulations.
Please contact Janelle Vier at 248.543.9067/bvier@aol.com or Lauri Peltonen at 248.435.3102/lapeltonen@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
President’s Notes
TEMPO Tag Days - We are asking that participating A’Cappella students wear their A’Cappella hoodie and all other choir students wear some other ROHS spirit wear (varsity jacket, sweatshirt) or ROHS school colors. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the business. Students are representing ROHS – please be courteous and professional. Dress warmly.
Also, we could still use additional parent chaperones/helpers for Tag Days:
Friday November 2nd 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM and Saturday November 3rd 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Please contact Carole Mason at 248.435.8925 or cmason3422@comcast.net if you are available to help.
