Pocket Calendar Sale Fundraiser
Orchestra students have a fantastic opportunity to earn money to pay for their Orchestra fees and uniforms. This is the first of our fundraisers for the year and because these are 2008-09 school year calendars, our selling time is short. These calendars list all Cobb County School District dates, as well as important Hillgrove HS dates (i.e., football games, concerts, plays, testing dates, etc.). The calendars are great to have as a quick reference when planning events. Everyone should have one in their purse or car! These were great sellers last year and last year’s customers are already asking for them.
The pocket calendars sell for $5.00 each. And, unlike most fundraisers, the students gets credit for the whole $5.00. Thank You to our sponsors, the UPS Store, Eagle Vending (our school vending machines), and Andy Perry of One Source Mortgage!! So, if a student sells 10 calendars @ $5.00 each, he/she has earned $50 for his/her Individual Student Account. The monies in this account can be used to pay for Orchestra fees, uniforms, spirit wear, or orchestra trips. There is a limited number of calendars available for sell, so get your orders in quickly. We will not reorder calendars and orders will be filled on a first come/first served basis.
To participate, a check or money order must be received for the number of calendars you want your student to be given (example: 5 calendars require a $25.00 check). The check/money order will be held until August 30th at which time the money from the calendars as well as unsold calendars (returned in excellent condition) will be due. If payment or unsold calendars are not returned by August 30th, the check or money order will be deposited. If all money and/or calendars are returned, we will void or return your original check. Checks should be made to the Hillgrove Orchestra Booster Club, put into an envelope with the order form and dropped into the mailbox in Mr. Doke’s office. The mailbox will be checked daily, with calendars distributed the following day. Remember, there is a limited number of calendars available for sale. Deadline is August 30th because our Bruster’s Coupon Booklet Sale will begin in September and is yet another way to earn money to offset your Orchestra expenses. Happy Selling!
