Funscrip Fundraising.

April 13, 2013 in Fundraiser, Notices, Parents Committee

Good evening,

As you may already know many of us used Fundscrip to raise funds for the European trip. There were less than 12 of us that placed orders and raised well over $2,000.00 in less than a year! Imagine how much we could raise for the Corps if we all placed orders.

This fundraiser doesn’t cost you anything to participate! You don’t have to sell anything either! All you have to do is go online and place orders for gift cards for items you already spend money on. For example if you shop at Superstore, but a gift card to use at Superstore. You can set up EFT (electronic funds transfer) to pay for the gift card directly out of your bank account! It’s that simple! You can buy gift cards for everyday purchases or for gifts to give away.

The orders are received every two weeks, so even if you bought one $25.00 gift card every two weeks, you would be helping the Corps. They are shipped to me and I give them to you on Wednesdays.

Please take a moment to review the attached information and visit http://www.fundscrip.com/login.aspx to sign up. It only takes a minute.

The next cut off for orders is April 18th, 7:30 am.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Please help support the Corps! Happy shopping!

Mona

BOTTLE DRIVE!

April 13, 2013 in Events, Fundraiser, Notices, Parents Committee, volunteering

BOTTLE DRIVE

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

10am-4pm

Airdrie Legion parking lot

Meet at the legion at 10am.

It’s time again for our fundraising bottle drive. Being our third one, most of you know the drill but to anyone new, here’s the scoop….

We will need approx. 1 parent driver per two attending cadets, a couple of parents willing to be on “stand by” to drive around and collect from vehicles that are full, as well as a few parents to help out separating, counting and bagging collected bottles at the Legion.

You will receive maps to show you where you will be collecting from.

Cadets to wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothing and shoes **Cadets must wear corps t-shirt!!’**

Cadets to bring plenty of water to take out with them.

lunch will be provided (pizza and drinks).

The Airdrie bottle depot has graciously donated supplies such as boxes for glass bottles and big canvas bags to count our aluminum and plastic bottles etc. into as well as helping throughout the day and taking it all away for us.

Please confirm your cadets attendance and let me know if you are able to participate as well.
