Scrabbleathon

The Scrabbleathon was our major fundraiser this year. Check out the Scrabbleathon page here. You can still sponsor a child via the Fundraise On-Line web pages here.

BULBS ARE BACK!!

Last year, the 'Bulb Fundraiser' was one of our most successful initiatives - it's a wonderful way of supporting the national subsidy fund AND having gorgeous healthy spring flowers at home!

Timing is tight, though, so you need to order right away. Last year a few people missed out on their first preferences, so this year we have brought the deadlines back by a week.

We've had great reports back from buyers of bulbs last year - very happy with the quality and success of their planting.

We've got a short term this term, and we want you to have the bulbs before Easter - so please check the dates and deadlines below….

ORDERS AND PAYMENT DUE TO YOUR
ODS/SP TEACHERS
BY 5 MARCH 2010

Bulbs are also a great gift idea, and with Mother's Day coming up in May… what a lovely way of saying 'thanks, Mum'!

So - check out the catalogue, make your choices and get your order and money back to your One Day School™ or Small Poppies teacher by 5 March at the latest.

Payment may be made by credit card, cheque or internet banking. Please phone (09) 845 4176 or 0508GIFTED for information on electronic payment options.

(How about asking your friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues as well!)

ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS

The Centre sells Entertainment™ Books each year. They are available from mid-late March each year, and some areas sell out very quickly!

Books are available through us for Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin/Invercargill/Queenstown (new in 2010).

The Centre gets a percentage of funds from each sale, and these funds STAY in the region of the sale. Over the past three years, many classroom items (eg musical instruments, digital cameras) have been purchased through the funds raised – items that our classes may not have had otherwise.

Please think of contacting your local Coordinator, or Head Office if you’re thinking about an Entertainment Book – you’ll really be helping us make a difference!

MOVIE FUNDRAISERS

Auckland had a movie premiere fund raiser of "Mamma Mia" at the Lido Cinema in Epsom on Thursday 10 July. Over $1500 raised from the evening will be going towards fee subsidies/scholarships for One Day School children.

THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED, and to CONTINENTAL CARS for providing spot prizes.

If you have any ideas on fundraising opportunities please contact us, we will be delighted to discuss any potential options with you.
