We did not receive the Zeck Ford Drive fundraiser for this year. Gina spoke with Derrick Zeck and we have been confirmed to have it for the 2019 Homecoming Fair. There is a potential of earning $6,000 from this event. Homecoming Street Fair- We will have a bouncy house for this event. Keri and her husband will run it. We need sand bags, lights, and volunteers. If you are interested in helping please contact Keri. We have decided to not participate in the Band’s Holiday Market. Spaghetti dinner/Bingo Night- is scheduled at the VFW for Saturday, October 13th. Dinner is 5-7 PM and Bingo will be from 7-10 PM. We will have soda, candy and popcorn to sell during Bingo. The last game will be a Blackout game with two winners. The Grand Prize will go to a JUNIOR Class student and one prize will go to an adult winner. There will be a sign-up genius going out for all the needs that we have concerning this event. Please look at the sign up and see how you can help! We still need a fundraising chair! If you are interested, please see Gina or Keri for more information. Carrie Taylor proposed a fundraiser for the fall of 2019, a Car Show. Carrie went into detail describing various activities that could take place in during the car show such as: food trucks, bouncy house, balloons, temporary tattoos, and a bake sale. In addition to the activities the Car Show would have multiple categories to enter for a $25 fee per car. We will need three judges. Possible donations from various businesses, such as auto shops, could be used as raffles or a silent auction. Gina Redwine will do a facility request to use the LHS parking lot. The tentative date will be September 2019. Please see Gina or Keri if you would be interested in helping with this committee. There was a suggestion to the group of having a Karaoke night as a fundraiser.

Our Committee!Almost all of our committee chair positions are filled, but we still need some motivated parents to step up to fill a key position immediately this year. Critical to our success over the next two years is a Fundraising Coordinator. We are planning to hold one fundraiser each semester junior year (that will not conflict with the current running senior OpGrad class), as well as selling our own class sportswear. In order to do that successfully, we need a Fundraising Coordinator to set up the events! And YES! We'd be happy to take TWO Co-Coordinators if you'd like to split the work!!! We also need someone to fill the Public Relations/Media Chair position. This person would handle all of our advertising, press releases, fliers and thank you notes. If you are interested in either of these positions, or know of someone who might be, please contact either Keri Gauger, willpaykck@yahoo.com or Gina Redwine, JGRedwine@sbcglobal.net ASAP!
