Fort McMurray Car Wash Fundraiser

We have been busy behind the scenes organizing our event.  This is an update on the latest news and an invitation for students and parents to sign up to work a shift or two and/or donate needed supplies to make this event work.

First of all, I have been working to make this event known to the public so that we can wash as many cars as possible.  As of today, there will be an advertisement in the Corpus Christi weekly bulletin for the next three weekends, there is a public event created on Facebook click here, it has been posted on the Guardian Families Facebook page, we have a Snapd event (https://windsor.snapd.com/#/events/view/952231), it will be announced on AM800's Community Calendar, and Stephen Fields (the media liaison for the WECDSB) will be making a media advisory closer to the event.  Please feel free to invite your friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. as well.

The St. Gabriel PAC has generously donated $300 for the purchase of hot dogs, buns, condiments, and beverages to be sold at the BBQ portion of this event. They have also agreed to allow us to use the popcorn maker and will supply us with the kernels and oil needed to make the popcorn.  THANK YOU!

We hope that we will be able to secure donations of needed supplies in order to maximize the donation that will be made to the Canadian Red Cross.  Here is a list of the items we need donated and/or would like to borrow for this event.  See if you can spare any of these.  If so, please send me a note in your child's agenda by May 25.
donations- car wash soap, sponges/car wash mitts, face painting supplies, baked goods.
items to loan- garden hoses, other car wash items such as squeegees, portable propane barbecue

HOW TO SIGN UP:  I am accepting volunteers from our class, their parent(s), and school staff for a minimum of one-hour time slots.  This event is rain or shine, so if you make a commitment, you must honour it.  Each student has a schedule in their "shared with me" area of their Google Drive for them to view only.  I will only accept offers to volunteer in writing, signed by the student's parent.  This can be done in the agenda or on a loose piece of paper.  As these start to trickle in, I will fill in the schedule so you can see what is available.  Obviously, jobs and times are on a first-come, first-served basis.  The students are responsible for their own transportation to and from this event, in a punctual manner.  Thank you in advance for your interest in this event and in helping the people of Fort McMurray.  SIGN UP BEFORE MAY 25.
