Pampered Chef Fundraiser... You're Invited!

The last Pampered Chef party we hosted was a hit.

And it was suggested to me that hosting another fundraiser might be a good idea.

In recent days I've recieved some affirmation of this, so here we go!

What: Pamerped Chef Party Fundraiser

When: June 8, 7:00 pm.

Where: South Carrol Full Gospel Church

Why: Raise funds to benefit Marilyn's missions trip to ROMANIA this summer.

A percentage of each order will go directly towards the effort!

Other Info: ...Some of you may have recieved an "e-vite" in your inbox... If you're unable to attend you can order online (I'll send you the link) -or- I can get you a catalog and you can place your order that way.

I'll probably need all the orders no latter than one week after the par-tay. Thanks you guys!

Sound like a plan?

If you have any questions at all please let me know!!

Blessings,

Marilyn

...Pampered Chef...Again??

A few of you have expressed some interest in another Pampered Chef Party fundraiser...

So, I ask, should we do it?

We'll do this the democratic way. All in favor of the resolution: "Marilyn ought to host another pampered chef party" - say "aye". All who stand in negation say "nay". Majority wins. Irrational ideas not supported by the majority are at the mercy of the filibuster.

And yes, I'm a home-schooled poli-sci fanatic :)

(thank you, Miss Hidey :)

Does it show at all by any chance?

Update

Hello to my wonderful readers!

Well, I just thought I'd update you on the VERY successful fundraising accomplished at the Pampered Chef party! Twenty percent of the each order cost was donated to help support me in my efforts to venture out to Romania this summer. The Grand total? $407.01!!!! (Which means you guys spend way too much on cookware) (haha, just kidding :)

So, altogether I have raised $795.01!!! Horaay! That puts the "awesome" in "awesome-ness". Totally.

I hope to purchase the plane tickets some time this week. Seriously, I'm getting more stoked about this as each day goes by and brings me closer to June twenty-fourth. But that's a whole other blog entry entirely. :)

Well, I was going to post one of my favorite photos captured two summers ago, but sadly dear old Blogger is not cooperating. However, to add a little flava to "Romanian Escapade" I will be adding a new weekly feature displaying a pic from my last hike up yonder and some reminiscing... so enjoy them! ...once they get here.

Pampered Chef Party

Discover the chef in you. Support Marilyn's trip to Romania. It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?

We are approaching another chapter of fundraising on behlaf my missions trip to Oradea this summer. Ya know, they just keep getting more and more exravagant as they come. (Thank you Miss Becky! :)

Ok, so here's the deal:

On Monday, December 8th, we will be hosting a Pampered Chef Party in the Youth Barn at South Carroll Full Gospel Church. The time is 6:30 pm. It will feature a display of many of Pampered Chef's cookware items, as well as some appetizer samplings (Ooh la la, I know).

Alright, so you might be wondering, "how in the world is this a findraiser?" The answer is this- a percentage of all proceeds will go towards my trip to Romania. I will elaborte: if $599 or less is recieved, 10% will benefit my trip. From $599 to $1,000 I recieve 15%, and over $1000, 20%.

Everyone is welcome, so bring along a few friends! If you can't make it, but would still be interested, let me know. I have a few catalogs that do contain order forms. Orders made from the catalog will also count toward the fundraising.

So, if you're in the market for some new kitchen gadgets, from silverware, to knives, veggie pealers, serving dishes, and spices, come on by!

They call this stuff FUN-d-raising...interesting...

Well, I do have about eight months till I get going, but there is a lot to pack into eight months, or so it feels at least.

The trip cost (my room and board) is 1000 dollars, and then there's those good ol' airline tickets. (help, Randi!! I need you!) And I'm pretty sure that once you add all those digits together you get something that looks an awful lot like a telephone number.

So, let the fundraising begin! That's when I think to myself "wait, where do I begin again?"

Last time it was car wash/yard sale (didn't work out the best...) and then the spaghetti dinner, and then those friendly little letters. The spaghetti dinner was great (maybe this spring?) and you gotta love the letters. But I need something else!! And ideas?? I was thinkin' a bake sale might be fun...

If you might so happen to conjure up any please please please comment me with 'em. I was thinking I might ask ZiPani if I could set aside a couple hours one Sunday after church, throughout which I might get a small percentage of the bills of customers who mention me. I know, I know, a lot to ask. Pizza Hut does it. I'm a pretty faithful ZiPani customer so maybe they'll pity me :)

Ok, so now it's your turn- let the comments begin!
