PTA AUCTION AND RAFFLE EXTRAVAGANZA!

The Dike-Newell and Fisher-Mitchell PTAs are gearing up for the First Annual Auction and Raffle Extravaganza to be held Friday, May 2, 2008 from 6-8 PM at Dike-Newell.  At this event, theme baskets, goods, and services are
auctioned*both silent and live, and raffled.  There are items in all price and interest ranges.  Savory appetizers and decadent desserts will be served.  Please join us for this well attended, family friendly,
community-building event.
The proceeds for this event will go to support both Dike-Newell and Fisher-Mitchellís Curriculum Enrichment Program and other activities.  CEP provides $1000 per grade team and $200 per specialist for extra activities and/or field trips that directly enrich the curriculum. Such things this program has paid for has been visits from Chewonki, local authors, supplies
for the Kindergarten, trips to see Charlotteís Web in Portland, etc. Without this program many of these activities could not happen.
Many classrooms, as you may already be aware, a collecting items for theme baskets.  In addition, we are looking for donations from families and businesses.  If your family or business connection would like to make a theme basket, or donate an item, service, opportunity, membership, or gift certificate, it would be greatly appreciated.  We have a document and tax ID number so that your contributions can be tax deductible.
You may have smaller, never or little used items to donate.  Perhaps a child has duplicate board games, DVDs, or a toy that was never opened.  That would be perfect for the raffle. We will be asking for donations of those savory appetizers and decadent desserts in April.
If you would like to donate an item, please complete the information on bottom of the form and send it back to school with your child.  For more information, please contact Kym Granger Gethicker at kkss@suscom-maine.net
or 442-0823, or Vanessa Leavitt at kvleavitt@verizon.net or 442-9022.
We are thrilled that both elementary PTAs will work together and both
schools will be benefit from this event.  We appreciate your support!
