Hello Everyone!! I am very sorry I have not replied to any of PAC emails in the last few weeks - saying farewell to summer ... the Peak of the Market fundraiser is one of my favorites! thanks Jen for setting that up and sending out the memo & order forms; let me know where and when I can help out ... also in October we have picture day so should I talk to Jodi (Life Touch photographer) and see if we can do family portraits again; would be a nice opportunity for families to do Christmas pictures/cards! I am available the 15th, Sept - what time, 7:00-8:00? -Rebecca Froese ________________________________ From: jlittle@xxxxxxxxx To: opasquiapac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: cnagle@xxxxxxxxx; gavsmith@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [opasquiapac] FW: Welcome to The Manitoba Healthy Choice Fundraiser! Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 12:58:01 +0000 I have signed Opasquia up for this fundraiser. Students will sell bundles of vegetables for $10 or $20. We will made a 50% profit off the sales. Miss Berscheid's class will help with the unloading and packaging up when the vegetables arrive. If would be great to have a few parent volunteers for this too. I'm thinking we should run this at the beginning of October. Teachers will be talking about harvesting, healthy foods and being thankful. I think it would tie in nicely! We could then have the veggies arrive after thanksgiving. They are quite busy the week of thanksgiving. I am willing to make up the memo and get the order forms photocopied and sent out since we have not had a meeting yet to discuss. How does everyone feel about a meeting on Monday September 15th?

September to December 2014 The Farm to School Manitoba Healthy Choice fundraiser is a fresh, healthy, and profitable fundraiser for your school or daycare! It is a great way to promote healthy food choices while also fundraising for your school. We are very pleased to announce that the program is now able to distribute donations of vegetable bundles made to Local Food Banks as distributed by the Manitoba Association of Food Banks on behalf of schools and daycares. In addition to being a healthy choice, this fundraiser also offers great profit margins for your school/daycare. Schools & daycares keep $5 for every $10 bundle sold and $10 for every $20 bundle sold. That’s a 50% profit! Those are great returns that should go a long way in meeting your fundraising goals.
