The days are getting longer as we begin to see sunshine before and well after school. I know I certainly welcome spring even though its several weeks away. Yesterday commenced our Winter Fundraiser. Here are the details:
Ram Band Discount Books
Our Winter Fundraiser began yesterday and runs until Saturday March 5. Students are selling the "Ram Band Discount Book"; a smaller, cost-effective version of the "Entertainment Book" sold by many organizations around Columbus. This discount book is customized with Ram Band artwork and offers discounts to local restaurants and businesses. Most of the businesses are within 10 minutes of Whitehall-Yearling. Our discount books have the potential to save over $250 if all the coupons are used effectively. Plus, each book includes an access code to the Digital Savings Club Online which offers additional discounts to Columbus-Metro restaurants and businesses.
To provide a huge boost to our fundraising efforts, we will have a Community Blitz Day Saturday March 5 (9am-12pm) for our members to go out into the community. Teams of band members will split up with a chaperone and canvas Whitehall. The Community Blitz Day plus a three-week fundraising window makes the potential for this fundraiser very good.
Note: Similar to the Candy Sale; all books not sold should be returned or student is financially responsible.
WIMBA is providing incentives to boost sales....
- Top Seller in Each Class (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) earns $50 CASH!!!
- Top Selling "Team" Earns a Pizza Party: Students split up yesterday into teams. Membership numbers in the teams are not equal. Top Selling "Team" will be based on selling percentage (Total Sales divided by Number of Team Members).
Cost of the Ram Band Discount Book: $20 Payments are accepted in cash or checks payable to WIMBA.
