Important Reminders (11/26/13)!

1. SOUPLANTATION FUNDRAISER IS TONIGHT! Make sure to show them a flyer! See you all there. :)

2. Good news; the See's Candies Fundraiser pre-order forms have arrived. Ceridwen, Eugenia, and Chaereen will be in front of the library during both brunches and lunch. Let us know if you are unable to meet us, and we'll figure out a way to give the form to you. Other than that, you MUST be present tomorrow.

RULES FOR THE SEE'S CANDIES FUNDRAISER:

1. Ask friends and family to do their holiday shopping through this fundraiser!
2. Try not to use the word "buy" when asking people, because it won't really be as warming as, "Would you like to help those affected by Typhoon Haiyan by ordering some chocolate?"
3. Make sure to fill out the phone number and write Y or N for texting.
4. Once you're done, please write down the total amount that you've ordered ON THE ENVELOPE. Then, fill out the bottom portion of your order form with the correct quantities. Do not write down the total that you've raised on this bottom portion.
5. Try not to accept checks; we strongly prefer cash.
6. Remember, this is for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan!

There is only room for fifteen orders. So if you happen to order for more than one person, just add the quantities to another person's order and be sure not to forget to record it. Example: Chaereen and fourteen other people order chocolate. Ceridwen wants to order chocolate too, but there isn't any room left on the official pre-order sheet. If Ceridwen and Chaereen want the same chocolate, they will add Ceri's quantity onto Chaereen's order).

If you still don't understand, don't worry, we'll explain it to you in person tomorrow.

BE THERE!

And by that, we mean both Souplantation and in front of the library. :)

11/25/13 Meeting: The Grand Total!

HEY EVERYONE!

So during today's meeting, we went over quite a handful:

1. SEE'S CANDIES FUNDRAISER IS UNDER WAY. Each person, preferably PLEASE, must buy at least $25 worth of candy so that we can reach the minimum amount of money needed to even take part in this project. Ask your friends, family, and family friends. GET THE WORD OUT that we've got some yummy chocolates ready to be distributed! It's a great way to get your holiday shopping done early (tell that to your parents). Eugenia will be updating us when the pre-order forms for the candy arrive. We'll probably hold another mini meeting to pass them out, so stay tuned!

2. HOUR SHEETS ARE DUE DECEMBER 9TH. At the latest, we'll accept them by December 16th. Make sure that you've got twenty hours under your belt! If not... well, you'll be missing out on the amazing things in store if you DO reach twenty. (hint hint: prizes at the end of the year). And don't forget: if you're able to reach 100 by the end of this year, you'll be eligible for a PVSA award!

3. THE SOUPLANTATION FUNDRAISER IS TOMORROW, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 26TH, from 5 to 8 PM! We're writing this on teacher's boards all around the school! You need to show them our flyer at the restaurant, which you can print HERE.
Ask friends to go! Ask family! Family friends! The officers aren't going to be there for the full three hours, but we're all going to be going so we hope to see a lot of you there!
If you don't go... Chaereen is going to be sad. :(

#4. Finally... the grand total of our Trick-or-Treat fundraiser. Guys, we are SO proud of you all. We officially raised $641.03 with this one fundraiser! Pat yourselves on the back; amazing job, everybody!

11/18/13 Meeting: BIG DAY

Hey everyone! Today's meeting was super important: we finally collected all of the Trick-or-Treat boxes. We gathered nearly sixty boxes, all of which were ready to explode. Thank you so much guys! Ceridwen, Eugenia, Chaereen, Aimiel, and Tyler will take charge in counting the money over this weekend. Once we finish, we will let you know of the grand total. Excited?!

Alright, today's agenda was quite a handful.

1. The See's Candies Fundraiser has officially begun! This is the main fundraiser for the month of December. We asked you guys on our sign-up sheets today whether or not you want to participate. If you were unable to attend the meeting, please comment below or email us by this Wednesday that you are willing to participate. This is a great way to gain an hour or two (heads up: hour sheets are due pretty soon), and an amazing opportunity for you to stock up on Christmas gifts. ALL that we earn through this fundraiser will be donated to the Philippines!

2. Speaking of which: UNICEF is currently providing emergency relief to those, specifically children, who have been affected by the recent devastation of Typhoon Haiyan. You can take action by texting RELIEF to 864233, by which you will be able to donate $10 with one text! Ask your parents to help you out. Or, you can head on here: https://secure.unicefusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=16500&16500.donation=form1&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=post&utm_content=11-16-13_14-30&utm_campaign=unicefusa. If you want, scroll down to the bottom of page where we linked UNICEF's official video for Haiyan Relief.

If any of you have other ideas to help fundraise for children in the Philippines, feel free to share! One member has already came up with the idea of setting a table out with information and asking for donations.

3. And we can't forget the main fundraiser of the month of November: Souplantation! REMINDER: the fundraiser is on November 26th from 5 ~ 8 PM. You can stop by the restaurant any time during this interval with our flyer, which you can download HERE. Souplantation's address is 24303 Town Center Dr #150, Valencia, CA 91355. Make sure to keep the receipt, so that we can give you hours ~
COME, COME, COME!

Happy Monday!
