Carnaval: Viva St. Clare

2006 St. Clare Benefit Auction

The Decorations Committee would like to send a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been sending in coupons for Michaels and Joann Fabric.  They have been a BIG help!!  They continue to need them, so keep up the good work.

An additional THANK YOU goes out to Ann Kroetch and Wells Fargo Bank for their GENEROUS donation of paper for the auction and school.  The paper is used for our printing needs.  We really appreciate this and other donations, they greatly help our auction to be successful.

Colette Cassinelli has been working very hard to update the auction website for Carnaval.  She has all the latest information, list of auction volunteers, and answers to questions you might have.  Check it out at http://www.angelfire.com/sc3/auction/index.html.  Add it to your favorites or go online to the St. Clare website, stclarepdx.org and click on Auction Carnaval in the Quick Links box.

SCRIP NEWS

The holidays are here!  Have you started working on your list for Thanksgiving?  We have SCRIP for several grocery stores in the area.  Beat the crowds - start buying SCRIP for Barnes and Noble and Home Depot regularly.  Also, coming soon will be a special holiday "special order" form.

A note regarding backpack orders:  We will make every effort to process SCRIP backpack orders on the day there are received, however, there may be some occasions when you will receive your order the following day.  This is a great way to order SCRIP, especially if you do the "drive through" for picking up your child. 

Right now we have an extra $100 in Pizza Caboose SCRIP if anyone is interested.  Please stop by the SCRIP table to pick some up.
