The CHCS PTA 2nd Annual Wine Raffle Fundraiser – we need you to donate! The CHCS PTA is holding a wine raffle on November 8th. Ticket sales are going on now – if you are interested in purchasing tickets or assisting with sales, please email amy.salunga@gmail.com. Winners do NOT need to be present at the raffle. We are seeking wine donations from local merchants; however, in order to make our wine cellars a reality, we ask CHCS families to donate one bottle of wine valued at $15 or more or use the Opt-out option below. When should you donate? Starting Friday, October 19th, families may purchase wine to donate, or drop off donations. The wine donation period ends Monday, November 5th. Where do I drop off my donation? * I already purchased a bottle of wine I’d like to donate If you already have on hand a bottle of wine that you would like to donate, you may drop off your bottle of wine at Hill’s Kitchen (713 D Street SE – across from the Eastern Market metro). Please fill out and attach the enclosed wine donation form to your donated bottle. * I’d like to purchase a bottle of wine from a local merchant at a discount Schneider’s of Capitol Hill (300 Mass Ave. NE) and Chat’s Liquors (503 8th Street SE) are both generously offering 15% discounts for purchases made for the wine raffle cellar. They will also store the purchased bottles of wine – you will not need to make arrangements to drop off your purchase anywhere else. Wine donation forms will be on hand to fill out when you make your purchase. Why should you participate (aside from the chance to wine 50 bottles of wine)? All funds raised go to programs and supplies for your children! Your fundraising efforts directly impact the level of monetary support the PTA is able to provide to CHCS. This year we are funding the Music Teacher at Peabody, First in Learning Aides (5 of them) at Watkins and Discretionary money for Stuart Hobson. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012 Wine Donation Opt-out Form Would you like to participate but are short on time? You can opt out! ________ Yes! I’d like to donate a bottle of wine to the CHCS Wine Raffle, but I’d like someone else to pick out the wine for me. Please accept my tax deductible $15 donation instead. Please make checks payable to CHCS PTA and write opt out donation in the subject line. Return this form and check in your child’s folder or drop in PTA box at your campus and email amy.salunga@gmail.com to notify when you have placed in the PTA box.
