On the website noted above,
you will find a FAQ section that may answer questions you have.
This is a very exciting time and we look forward to additional
information as this project progresses.
Sharon
provided an update on the Yankee Candle Fundraiser.
Thank you to all who participated in this fundraiser.
Our current profit is $2002.66. However,
due to the trouble we experienced with backordered items, we have negotiated
an additional 10% profit amounting in $500.00 for a total of $2502.66.
All backordered items have been shipped.
In addition to receiving your item, anyone who had a backordered item
will also receive a reimbursement for the cost of the item.
The amount that will be reimbursed in total is $1032.00 and will be
sent to Sacred Heart as one payment.
Sharon
will work with Pat Emery to have checks cut in the appropriate amounts and
sent to the seller’s effected.
Sharon
noted that some parents have already requested to apply their reimbursement
to the school’s profit. If you
wish to do the same please contact
Sharon
via email at thebellinos@comcast.net
or at 610-473-2482. If everyone
donated their reimbursement we could potentially gain an additional $1000.00
for the school.
Terry McKendry advised that
profits for Market Day are down this year.
Please consider participating in this school fundraiser. Chris
Haffey and Terry McKendry will be offering a Market Day sampling after mass
on Sunday. It’s really good
– please give it a try.
Gretchen Brosius reported
that Scrip is also down by about $500 compared to last year at this time.
The goal is to reach $12,000. Please
consider participating in the Scrip program and if you already participate
perhaps consider increasing the amount purchased each week.
Keep in mind you can use it to pay your Kohl’s charge.
Christine Mesaros
spoke about the school yearbooks. Due
to the number of ads placed in the yearbook the cost should remain at
$20.00. A reminder now for next
year’s book - please take pictures of your children and special events
(class trips, parties, sports, etc). This
year was a challenge to get enough pictures, especially in the younger
grades. Christine will be
looking for volunteers to help with orders.
Mary Shields spoke about
SH’s newsletter – Sacred Heart Beat.
Please submit your stories and information for the newsletter.
You can include family oriented topics, special events, classified
ads, etc.
Jen Portela advised that we
are in need of a volunteer to chair the basket raffle.
Lori Howarth has done an outstanding job but is now passing the
baton. This is a huge fundraiser
for Sacred Heart. We have
volunteers to help but need a leader. Please
contact Jen or Lori.
Teresa Miller advised that
the current H&S Board’s term ends in June.
We will be looking for nominations at the next H&S Meeting on
3/31. We would like to receive
enough nominations to hold an election.
Please feel free to speak with any of the current or former board
members for more information.
Our
next H&S Meeting will be held on March 31st.
Congratulations to our
scrip certificate winners – Laura Mooney and Terry Haffey.
Meeting adjourned.
