Encore Gift Wrap:  September
Chairpersons: Jenny Boister: giftwrap
@reedpta.com
                       Tracy Vezien:
Volunteers: Are needed to sort and deliver the merchandise to the specific classrooms upon delivery to the school.

We start the year off with a bang with our gift-wrap sales.  This is an easy way to get prepared for the approaching holidays while helping your school. Each year we strive to sell approximately $30,000 in products and usually succeed. The funds raised from the sales are for the enrichment programs provided by the PTA.

Fall Festival:  Friday October 22nd 2010        
Chairpersons: Jayne Love-Arburn: fallfestival@reedpta.com                          
Kam Gordon: fallfestival@reedpta.com                                                             
Volunteers: Are needed to work in shifts at the various stations.              
 
Fall Festival is a fun night for everyone. Don't forget to invite your friends and family to purchase a pumpkin and enjoy the haunted house, games, food, crafts, and drawings.  The funds raised during Fall Festival are for the enrichment programs provided by the PTA.

Scrip/eScrip:  On-going sales throughout the year
Chairpersons: Leigh Dewis: reedscrip@
reedpta.com
Volunteers: Are needed to sell Scrip cards before and after school and during some other events.

Scrip is gift cards from merchants that you buy at cost.  PTA buys them at a discount and the PTA earns 1% to 20% from your purchase.  Popular choices are Starbucks, Arco, Safeway and Lunardi’s.  You spend the same amount of money, but your child directly benefits from the profit.  Can fundraising get any easier? 

eScrip is where you register your debit/credit card or Safeway card with eScrip.  A portion of your sales at certain merchants goes to Reed. At last you get a real return for your hard earned money!

Each month Reed families dine at a different restaurant.  Each family presents a Dinner-Night-Out flyer and 10% to 20% of their tab is donated to the PTA by the restaurant. It is the most delicious way to raise money for your child! Favorites are Armadillo Willys, Giorgios, Sonoma Chicken Coop, Aqui's, Chevy's, and many more.

See’s Candy: Winter
Chairperson:   Kam Gordon  &
Caroline Youkhannaseescandy@reedpta.com
Volunteers: Are needed to sort and deliver the merchandise to the specific classrooms upon delivery to the school.

During the Holiday Season PTA asks you to help us sell See’s candy.  We typically make about $3000 per fundraiser.

Crab Feed and Silent Auction: Winter/Spring    
Chairperson: Tricia Prins: crabfeed@
reedpta.com
                     
Volunteers: Volunteers are needed for gathering silent auction donations, set-up & clean-up. Dinner servers are Pioneer Softball player's earning community service hours.

This event is held off campus and is geared as an adult function.  There are bowls full of delicious cracked crab to dunk in the sinfully tasty melted butter.  If you are not a sea-food fan, not to worry. There are always just as delicious alternatives served, such as green and pasta salads, loafs of steaming sourdough bread, and Italian sausages.  The PTA provides water & soft drinks, but you are more than welcome to bring your favorite beverage. 

The fun doesn't stop with the eating & socializing. There is dancing and a silent auction with all kinds of great gifts for others or just spoil yourself!  The money raised from this event are for the enrichment programs provided by the PTA.
