This committee will examine our fundraising tactics and discuss the fundraising strategy for the 2012-13 school year.  Meetings will be scheduled depending upon the interest level and availability of those who sign up.

If you are willing to help out for 30-60 minute blocks of time when there is a need, we will put you on our list of people to contact first.  This is a great option for people who want to help out, but aren’t ready to commit to a specific committee.

Grade-level baskets and prizes are raffled off at the carnival (in an "adults-only" room). Each grade level needs a person to coordinate donations for the theme basket. We also need a chairperson or committee to help organize the themes and collective details. **This can be done from home.**
