    3. Dine-Outs: CPK netted $450, next one will be in March at El Torito.

    won a PIZZA PARTY! Feedback from parents was that catalogs were preferred.
    This is an ongoing fundraiser, so continue to go online and be sure to enter the
    school number and your child’s number so that Walgrove gets the credit.
    5. Silent Auction Meeting: January 2011. We will be using a new database for the
    Silent Auction as well as the Annual Fund.
    6. Walk-A-Thon: June 2011. We will have a party theme with bouncies.

    was $58K.
    2. Note that ~$60K will only carry us for about three months. We need more.
    3. Tax letters will be coming out in December/January.
