How does a quarter throw down work?
All bidders purchase a numbered paddle for $3 - a bingo ball with the same number goes into a basket. Vendors offer items for auction (new, quality items from their companies.) Based on the value of the item, you bid on the item with quarters. (Example - a $38 baking stone from Pampered Chef is up for auction. If you want a chance to win, you pay .50.) Everyone who wants to bid on the item pays .50 to their table worker, and holds their bidder number in the air. When all bids are in , the basket of balls is stirred, and a number is drawn. If the person holding the corresponding paddle number bid on that item, they win it. If not, another number is drawn until a winner is found from all bidders. This process continues until all 100+ items are won. Bidding scale for Quarter Throw Down auctions: Retail of $20 or less =1 quarter $21 - $40 =2 quarters $41 - $60 =3 quarters $61 + =4 quarters (no bids will be over 4 quarters, regardless of the value!)

Background on Legislation: The Maryland Education Credit (Senate Bill 405 I
House Bill 487) provides companies and individual businesses a 60% tax credit on
donations to nonprofit Student Assistance Organizations. Those organizations in turn
provide financial assistance for student expenses such as tuition, supplies, tutoring,
transportation and special needs services. A business entity who donates may receive
a credit of up to $200,000. The bill was heard last week before the Senate Budget and
Taxation Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee. Now we need to
convince those committees to move the bill to the floor.
Did you know? More than 700 students from 11 Maryland counties and
Baltimore City are expected to attend Nonpublic School Advocacy Day in
Annapolis Wednesday, March 4! Students from more than 30 schools will arrive
during the 8 o'clock hour and take part in a rally in the Senate before spending the day
in both the Senate and House chambers.
Another thing to know: The passage of the Maryland Education Credit in the legislature
would help lower-income families - from BOTH public and nonpublic schools - afford
tuition and other educational expenses for their children. It would give kids the
opportunity to attend schools which best suit their needs. Low-income children receive
first priority for financial assistance.
Here's one last thing to know: Business donations will help all of Maryland's children,
whether they attend a public or non public school. The donations will provide financial
assistance for academic tutoring, books, supplies, technology, tuition assistance and
special needs services, affording students the ability to continue to attend the schools
which best suit their needs.
Action: Join your voice with the hundreds of students that will be in Annapolis and
email your Senator and Delegates urging them to support the Maryland
Education Credit.

Thank you for your representation and commitment to education. As you know~
there are over 100,000 K-12 students in Maryland nonpublic schools across the state,
which collectively save our
taxpayers about $1.5 billion annually. This legislation
can help save many schools from having to close their doors, thus preserving those annual
savings to the state.
