ANNUAL FUNDRAISING BANQUET AUCTION

Dear Class Parents, 
 
The P.S.130 Annual Fundraising Banquet is less than a couple of months away to be held on Friday, May 16, 2014. Due to the success from our auction last year, we would like to host it again this year.
We are asking each class to participate in order to make it a successful event. We would like the Class Rep or one of the parents from the class to coordinate within their own class. This will help alleviate the burden on the teachers.
This year, we ask that a Maximum of two Gift Baskets be submitted due to space constraints. These will be on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS, so please email us as early as possible to let us know if your class has decided to submit a basket. In addition, we have enclosed a list of Suggestions that your classes may want to use:
 
1. Broadway Show Tickets
2. Sports Game Tickets with a few items showing Team Spirit
