ASB MAGAZINE DRIVE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We need your help to make this fundraiser successful. Please consider helping us with the following jobs:
1. Counting Days (counting money and orders)- If you enjoy the sound of a 10-key machine and the clacking of calculators, then the counting job is for you! Work with other volunteers to help count and tabulate the magazine orders received on each collection day. Although the time slot starts at 8:15, please feel free to sign up if you can join us later in the morning (please just send an email with the time you will arrive). The school can't run the Magazine Drive without our valuable Counters.
2. Prize Days (handing out student prizes) - Come join us during the students' lunch time to help hand out the prizes the students have earned through their industrious selling efforts. The students are super excited to get their prizes, so that makes this an especially fun way to get involved.
If you have any questions please contact Pete Norby at poolnorby@comcast.net.
Thank you so much for your help.
