A little thanks & the first what's happening post

First off I would like to thank Josh for getting this started. IT LOOKS GREAT! I am excited to see this blog grow and blossom into so much more. While there are few posts on here now, this blog will soon grow into a place where we can keep each other updated on what is going on in PBL and post ideas we have to get some help devoloping them into bigger ideas. With that being said...I would like to give everybody the first update with what is going on in the Fundraising group.



This quarter is off to a HUGE start for fundraising and I am VERY excited to see what other ideas we will have develop throughout the rest of the quarter and also throughout the coming year. Here is what we currently have going on!



1. Halloween Themed Bake Sale

On Monday October 26 there will be a Halloween themed bake sale from 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM under the knee (our usual spot for bake sales). If you are interested in helping work the table or bring some goodies and have yet to sign up on the sign up sheet PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW. The more help we have the better! We are requesting (not required) that we have home baked goodies since they seem to sell better and faster, BUT (as stated above) IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE HOME BAKED. I am a mother of two and understand how tight things can get and how busy you can get between everything going on so don't feel bad if you can't do home baked, but want to bring something.

2. Holiday Gift Wrapping

We are currently working on securing a facility to do some holiday gift wrapping on the biggest Christmas shopping days of the year. We all know what days those are......this year those days will be November 27-29 (if we can get a facility secured for all those days!). We are currently looking at working things out with Walmart to use the empty space where Blimpies use to be located just inside the grocery side doors. Once we have a facility secured for usage there will be many more updates, but I wanted to give everybody a "heads up" to save the date because we anticipate this to be a HUGE fundraiser and will need all the help we can get on this one (we all know how crazy that first Christmas shopping day can be!).

3. Cookbook

We are working on completing a cookbook that was compiled last year. In our Tuesday meeting we will be discussing the putting together of a sub committee for the cookbook to make the final decisions on design before it will be brought to the club to approve/deny the amount to be spent on the cookbook. We are pushing to get this done soon so that we can get the cookbook sent in and back in time to sell for Christmas.

4. Christmas Party

In our Friday meeting we decided to move forward with putting together a Christmas party. While no date is set in stone yet, it was suggested that we have it on December 12 this year. When more updates are available I will make another post with the updates.



These are all the updates that I have for you currently. As more updates come available I will make them known to you on here and in our meetings. Thanks for all the help so far and I look forward to this being a GREAT quarter!
