MCNS has several fundraising efforts underway for the 2003-2004 school year. To participate in the organization of any of the activities, please contact our Fundraising Coordinator Ardeth Kirkham.

Some of the fundraising projects we are currently working on:

MacMillans

Our first Macmillans drive was held in September 2003 and raised over $200 for the school. Frozen cookie dough, muffin mix, cakes and appetizers are a wonderful way to fill your freezer with quick and ready entertaining dishes, as well as helping preparation for holidays and events fast and easy. The order deadlines are as follows:

November 2003

March 2003

May 2003

If you have any questions, or want to place an order, contact Alison Ayling (3 yr Vicky's mum!).

MCNS Cookbook

Our new fundraising effort for the 2003-2004 year is the invention of the MCNS Cookbook. created from recipes gathered from the parents of students in the MCNS program, and generously supported by local advertisers, the MCNS Cookbook is available for $10. Copies will be sold at the Munster Elementary School Craft Fair on November 20 from 4 to 8 PM in the MES gym. They make a great Christmas present, and are a wonderful keepsake reminder of the school and all of our students and their families. If you would like to help sell the cookbooks, or would like to purchase a copy, please contact Roselynn Lannan (3/4 yr Chance's mum!).

Quilt Raffle

This year, as the last few years, we have been generously donated a handmade Quilt to be raffled for fundraising. The Quilt raffle tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. The first prize for the raffle is a handmade X by X (dimensions) quilt, made and donated by Jan Kittle. The second prize is a set of handmade sweaters (adult and child) donated by Patti Gorr. Our first tickets sales drive was held the weekends of October 18, 19 and 25, 26 at Saunders Farm - during their Halloween events. Tickets will also be available for sale at the Munster Elementary School Craft Fair on November 20 from 4 to 8 PM in the MES gym. If you would like to purchase tickets, contact Jennifer Youland (3 yr Wyatt's mum!).

Regal

We have been selling items from the Regal Gifts catalog for several years now, and this is one of our largest fundraisers. The catalogs and order forms are available on top of the cubbies at the school, and the order deadlines are as follows:

November 17, 2003

March 2003

May 2003

Take the catalogs to work, or share with relatives, they seem to have a lot of appeal, and usually have something for everyone! If you have any questions, contact the Regal organiser for the school, Lori Strang (3 yr Kellee's mum!).

Vesey's Bulbs

In September of 2003, we tried a new campaign selling Vesey's flower bulbs. With a very short lead time, we raised over $300 for the school, and lots of parents now have beautiful flowers expected next summer! If there is any interest, we might consider doing another bulb sale in the Spring. If you would like to participate, please contact Ardeth Kirkham (2 yr Lena's mum!).
