WE NEED YOUR HELP! - Member Email: April 24, 2025
Hello Seminole Families -
We are about 1 month away from the pool opening for the season and are only 1 week away from our first Seminole Pool & Tennis Rummage Sale. The Fundraising Event Committee has been working hard to help prepare all the donations that we've received and are excited to have some great items available and really give the Seminole 2.0 efforts a boost with the money raised. Now, this is where all of you come in - WE NEED YOUR HELP. This is a giant endeavor and it's essential that we have enough volunteers to make this successful. Please look at the SignUp Genius and consider signing up for a shift or two. The more people we have, the more smoothly this will run. If you have a teenager that needs volunteer hours, we are happy to verify their hours worked. We know Madison students have off that day!
We have a few other requests that we are hoping the Seminole community can help with:
We would love to have some custom signs or a banner for the rummage sale to use by the intersection of Hwy. PD and Seminole Hwy. and outside the pool starting next week to help advertise. If anyone has a way to make these or a connection to someone that could make them at discount, please email carleenh@seminole26-5.org.
We would also welcome homemade signs for the sale! If you or your kids are interested in crafting signs to help with promotion, please include "Seminole Pool Rummage Sale" and the sale dates, "May 2 & 3" and send us an email so we can arrange placement before the sale.
We will be promoting the sale on social media - please share on your accounts to help get the word out. Feel free to promote the sale anyway you can.
If you still have items to donate, you can bring them to the sale on Friday 5/2 between 7-8:30 am ideally so we have time to get them out, but donations will be accepted while the sale is going on as well. If you need other arrangements, please email us.
The Silent Auction for Seminole 2.0 is going to be kicking off on May 5th, 2025. We'll be using an online platform and are still looking for donations from members - if you have anything that you'd like to donate, please be in touch. We'd love tickets for events, gift baskets, gift cards, photo sessions, other donated services, or any other idea that you have. Does your teen babysit, walk dogs, or mow lawns? Maybe they'd want to donate some of their services to a lucky winner? If you have something you'd like to donate, let us know. We would love to have at least 50 items in the sale so there can be something for everyone!
Finally, our final restaurant nights before the pool opens are coming up:
Thursday May 8th at Toot & Kate's in Verona - we recognize this isn't for the whole family, but stop by to catch up with some Seminole friends, buy some bottles to enjoy at home or pick up gift card for a gift (Mother's Day is coming up).
Monday May 19th at Glass Nickel Pizza in Fitchburg - the owner has graciously offered to do another giveback day for Seminole 2.0. Like last time, he's donating 10% of sales the entire day back to the pool, so plan a pizza lunch at work, maybe bring Glass Nickel to school for a teacher thank you, and be sure to order for your supper - so many great options in addition to the pizza we all love. No codes needed.
As always, if you have QUESTIONS OR WANT TO JOIN US, send us a message - we’d love to hear from you. We are a small crew and could use your help: carleenh@seminole26-5.org.
Cheers,
Seminole 2.0 Fundraising Event Committee
