Entertainment Book, Sally Foster recap,
new Committee chair needed
Dear Centennial High School Community,
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE PTSA by purchasing 2011-2012 Entertainment® Books and items from the Sally Foster Online Store. Since Entertainment.com increased the PTSA's donation rate to 50% of purchases this year, we received $900 from Entertainment Book sales; we earned approximately $530 from our Sally Foster fundraiser.
I've chaired this PTSA fundraising committee for four years now, and this year, my son will graduate from Centennial High School. So, I'm currently seeking someone who would like to take over this volunteer position. It's a one-person job that will have parent volunteers to help as needed to sell at school and community events -- and you're done for the year when sales end in December! If you're interested in chairing this committee next year, or would like further information, please contact me via e-mail (vbohr@verizon.net) or telephone (410/992-0322).
Best,
Diane Bohr
Chair, Entertainment Book / Sally Foster
