Fund-raiser starts April 4 and ends April 20
www.fortschools.org/hswebs/OrchestraBoosters/
Geraniums.htm
Geranium sales can put the pink in your flower beds . . . and
green in your account!
This is
one of the easiest fund-raisers your orchestra student can do. Plus, your
son or daughter will be credited with $.75 per plant to his or her personal
account, which can be used for music camps or for future Fort Atkinson
School trips such as the one the music students just completed to Florida.
In total, orchestra students were able to defray almost $2,500 of the cost
of the trip to Florida just by selling geraniums.
The geraniums will be $4.00 each. Students and parents
will turn in their order forms and money April 20 from 3 to 7 p.m. in the
High School Commons. At that time, they will receive their coupons to
deliver to their customers. the customers can then pick up the geraniums at
their convenience at Blodgetts' Garden Center any time before June 29, 2005.
FORMS WILL COME HOME JUST BEFORE SPRING BREAK.
Selling geraniums is easy
The
Orchestra Boosters Geranium Sale has been well-received by the community.
Please use this opportunity to help your child build his or her account to
fund future music trips and camps.
Geranium Selling Tips
1. Tell people who you are
and why you are contacting them.
Say, "I'm (your name) and I am a member of the Fort Atkinson School
Orchestra. we are holding a geranium sale to raise money for orchestra
trips. Plus, some of the funds I raise are set aside especially for me for
music trips and camps."2.
Tell what is in it for them.
"We are working with Blodgetts' Garden Center to offer you these
high-quality geraniums. they are ready to transplant and can be picked up
between May 7 and June 30. (the coupon expires after June 30)
3. Ask for the order.
"Would you be willing to support the Orchestra Boosters by buying some
geraniums? they are only $3.50 each, which is the same price that Blodgetts'
is selling them. How many would you like?
4. Fill out the order form and tell them you will deliver their coupons
after April 20. You can collect the money now or when you deliver
their coupons. Just keep track of who has paid and who hasn't!
5. Thank your customer. Say again how much you appreciate the
order and how happy they will be with their flowers all summer!
6. Turn your order and your money in at the High School Commons April 20
from 3 to 7 p.m.. Money is due at this time, but checks will not be
cashed until April 29th.
Good luck selling the geraniums!
7. Camp Scholarships are due when you turn in your geranium money. The
application form may be found at:
