Some of you know that I am Development Coordinator at our Christian school. As such I design newspaper, billboard ads and flyers and brochures for the advancement of the school. I also am responsible for helping to plan and design fundraisers for the many things schools need that normal budget items don't provide funding for. So here is the idea I have.....

I am willing to share fundraising ideas and my experience to any of you that ask. I might not get back with you (via a forum thread here at HCWT) right away, but a question via a pm and an online post will be responded to.

We just completed Grandparents' Day and had well over 250 grandparents to show up (RSVP) for a program, visit to classrooms, and lunch with their grandchild/children. We raised over $2,600 in donations for specifics that teachers requested via a wishbook of items that will help their specific class.
