2/11/2013 Update


A note from Alyse:  Thank you to everyone who helped make Friday's dinner a success! This event took months of planning and wouldn't have been possible without the time and effort of several behind the scenes parents. They made phone calls, wrote letters, organized donations, shopped for supplies, watched children, filled baskets, decorated the hall, and finally helped tear everything down. I really, really appreciate the time and energy you put in.  It was wonderful to see the way our community pulled together to support the arts and culture program.  We took home about $5,000 after expenses - that's nearly 25% of our arts and culture budget for the year! And we had fun doing it, which is always a great bonus.


A note from Tawnya:  Whew - the fundraiser is over, and I have caught up on some sleep (even snuck in a nap today), after staying late for the most enjoyable clean-up I have ever experienced.  Lots of good visiting in that last hour!  While I know it seems so soon after all that hard work to be meeting again, the scheduling with board meetings and vacation dictates that we get together this coming Tuesday.  I know many of you have fresh thoughts and constructive criticism to share about the fundraiser, so please join us.  We will breeze through a few updates from committees, and then get right on to brainstorming about our future fundraising, and how best to sustain our precious Arts and Culture program. 
YOUR INPUT IS VALUED.  We need to know what Laurel Tree families are WILLING and EAGER to do to help raise money to support our school!  See you Tuesday....there will be childcare and snacks provided, and we will keep it short and sweet.


A note from Brenda:   In addition to the money raised on Friday night, we’ve had $5,000 donated by parents and grandparents during the first semester!    I’m excited to meet on Tuesday to talk about some new ideas several parents have shared.   Crowd funding and grant writing look like exciting possibilities.
