Post From Julie Bride 1-14-13

Hello, all! Bear with me through this email, it might be a little lengthy but very important and informational. First things first, I would like to update you briefly on how far we've come with the fundraising process. We have raised about $8000--WOW! Second of all, the winner of the Pinkout game ball is Bob Lambrechts!!! We plan on scoring about 7 or so Aquinas goals off this ball ;)

Now, I would like to share with you a bit of upcoming news. Mr. Riggs has spoken with Dr. Ford about the fundraising CPR class on February 16, and he is completely in favor and excited about this community event. He will encourage attendance with an email and discuss it at the next school mass. This class is open to ALL of the public. It costs $25 per person for pre-registration, $35 per person at the door, and it is a first come first serve basis. Spots are, in fact, filling up quickly. However, if you are approaching this class as a family of 4 or more, it costs $75 for the family. Aquinas kids also get service hours if they participate in the class, but remember it is NOT limited to the Aquinas community. We would like to raise money through this class, but it's good to approach it as learning a life saving skill for the future! 

As with any fundraising activity, we are dependent upon the generosity of others. Please help us attain our goal and forward this information to family and friends who would be willing to donate--ANY amount of donation is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!
Julie Kay Bride, Fundraising Chairwoman
Hannah Kwapiszeski, Treasurer

PS: This class will count as service hours through Saint Thomas Aquinas, as well.
