Cornerstone Main Office

 

Dear parents,

We will proceed with the fund raising effort in this fashion:

1.    We will sell the $2 variety bars (milk chocolate with almonds, dark chocolate with almonds, W.F. Crisp bars, and caramel bars), the $2 Caramel Swirls (chocolate covered caramel pieces) and the $2 chocolate covered almonds.

 

2.    The cost (to us) of the bars is $1 and the profit on each bar is $1.

We pay $1 and sell them for $2.

 

3.    Each family interested in participating in the fundraiser should

a.     email elainefrancel@bellsouth.net with an order for the number of cases you would like to sell.

b.     send in a check to Cornerstone for the total cost of the product you would like to sell:

 

Example:        1 case (25 bars) of the variety bars cost is $25 (sell for $2 ea.)

                        1 case (50 boxes) of chocolate covered almonds cost is $50 (sell for $2 ea).

                        1 case (25boxes) of Caramel Swirls (chocolate covered caramel pieces) cost is $25 (sell for $2 ea.)

 

4.    We will run the fundraiser from November to January 8^th, 2010

 

Note:

Cornerstone Schools will purchase cases to be sold on campus to teachers and other parents who come into the office. The profits generated from these sales will be divided equally over all Washington bound students. Therefore, teachers will not buy from individual students and we ask that students do NOT solicit other students in school.

 

Please email elainefrancel@bellsouth.net with your order:

Student Name: _______________________________________________________

Number of variety cases: ________ ($25 each case)

Number of chocolate covered almond cases: _________ ($50 each case)

Number of Caramel Whirls (chocolate covered caramel pieces) ($25 each case)

 

The details:

·         Please make your check out to Cornerstone Schools as we will do a bulk order to fulfill the minimum requirements for case orders.

·         Checks and email orders are due (at the latest) by Monday, November 2nd.

·         The cases will arrive 5 – 7 business days following.

·         Re-orders are possible but we do have to meet the minimum case order (8 cases for each item).

·         Returns of unsold product are possible but we (participants) are responsible for the shipping and a 1X restocking fee of $25.

 

 As always any questions just give us a call 770-205-8202

Note:

I will hold all enrollment forms and/or checks and let you know how many participants we have prior to sending them off to Smithsonian Travel. We are shooting for 35!!!!!!

If we can't get the numbers I will return your enrollment forms and checks to you.

 

FUNDRAISING

 

We are going to go ahead with the World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser. After careful consideration we will let students use the money they individually earn to put towards their own trip costs. We are hoping this will provide an opportunity for families that would not otherwise afford the trip, at this time, the possibility of paying for some/majority/all of the trip with sales efforts.

 

Any questions just let me know, 

Elaine
