Our fundraisers for the year were approved at the September General Meeting and
are well underway. The CECPTA's support of parents with young children is
made possible through the money we raise.
We are currently selling Dallas Entertainment Passbooks for $30 each.
The October 11 meeting will be your LAST CHANCE to get these. THANK YOU to
everyone who has bought or sold passbooks. If you haven't already, please
ask friends and relatives to buy one, or give one as a gift to a hard-to-buy-for
person. You can pick them up at the October 11 general meeting, or contact
Nancy Foreman if you need them sooner. The grocery coupons from either Tom
Thumb or Kroger will save you $60.00, twice the cost of the book!
($120 if you swap with a friend). A passbook can save big bucks on family
outings. For example, you could visit the zoo, go bowling, eat pizza, and
top it off with ice cream using two-for-one coupons for each of these.
Passbooks are available for many cities. There is a website (
www.entertainment.com) from which you can order and credit the CECPTA.
You should have received a sample letter via our CECPTA announcements e-group
that you can use to sell passbooks to friends and family you don't see often.
E-mail Foreman@flash.net if you need a copy
of that letter.
At our October 11th meeting, you will receive information about our Efficient
Fundraising campaign. This one is so easy! Personalized e-mail invitations
are sent to family and friends you choose. These offer a variety of items
that can be purchased via the Internet. Orders are shipped directly to the
customers with 40% of the proceeds going to the CECPTA. Printed order forms
are available for non-computer users.
At each general meeting we have a vendor who sells great products and donates
a door prize. Tickets are 3 for $1. Thank you to Tracy Coleson, our Country
Peddler vendor, who generously donated a cast iron angel candleholder in
September. Lee Trimble was the lucky winner! Judi Lunger will show Southern
Living at Home products in October. In December, we will hold a raffle for a
"Curl up with a Good Book" package. This includes a handmade children's quilt,
matching pillow, and a "quilt theme" children's book. Raffle tickets are $5
each. The quilt will be displayed at upcoming meetings.
If you haven't already done so, or need another, please pick up Albertson's,
Kroger, and Tom Thumb grocery cards at a general meeting. When you use these,
a portion of the amount of your purchases is donated to the CECPTA.
There are two websites that donate a percentage of your purchases to our group
at no extra cost when buy from any of over 300 popular online merchants through
them. Please log on to www.schoolpop.com
and www.schoolcash.com today, register
as a member of the Carrollton Early Childhood PTA, and add them to your "favorites"
list to use when you shop the web!
To keep things simple, you and/or your family can donate directly to the
CECPTA and be "guilt free" for the year. A $65 check will cover your share!
Larger and smaller donations are also welcome.
