Birthday and Greeting cards Belinda is a busy mother of three with little time to spare but volunteered to manage a Birthday and Celebrations Greeting Cards fundraiser for the Larool Preschool. Belinda was initially worried the drive would be difficult to co-ordinate, but found that the opposite was true. “The whole process was very easy and straight forward”, she said. “The reminder emails that Living Fundraisers sent out were exactly what I needed to help me stay organised.” Belinda said feedback was very positive, with many parents commenting on the quality of the cards. They made more than $1,800 in profit, as the cards were so easy to sell—many families sold 3 carry-bags each! 8 “This is the perfect fundraiser. We all have little kids and no spare time so we needed a product that would basically do the work for us,” said Belinda. “I’m the kind of mum who suddenly realises that she doesn’t have wrapping paper or a birthday card on hand on the day she is supposed to be getting her child to a party. Now I have a drawer filled with the perfect cards so I won’t have to stress about it. No more hunting for cards that just aren’t there!” Each carry bag contains 6 boxed-sets of cards: • 2xBirthdayset1 • 2xBirthdayset2 • 2xCelebrationsset Sell each box for $10. Total sales per carry bag is $60. You keep 40% of sales— $24.00 per carry bag. Please see page 23 for important details and how to order.
