June 8 Saturday
I am involved in fundraising for our 4-H
club. Our club helps kids to learn about animals and be involved in community
projects. Our children in our area and in our group are from low income
families. The parents to do have the sources to take them on trips and buy them
stuff from our 4-H store. We provide the shirts and project books for our
children to keep these families involved without the worries of how they will
buy them.
This year we will be holding a Chinese auction that will include a cake walk and a 50/50
raffle. With the earnings from this we will buy our kids projects books
and update t-shirts. We will also be going on a outing after the county fair for
all their hard work and dedication. I am contacting you in behalf of the
Allensville Hillbillies and the fundraising team to request your support in any
way you can. I am asking you to help us out this year by giving us a donation
that people in our community and surrounding communities would like to win,
anything is fine with us. I thank you for your time and consideration. We look
forward to whatever support you can provide. If you require any additional
information about the Allensville Hillbillies please contact me and I will be
happy to answer any questions you have. Our event will be held June 8, 2013 at
McArthur Community Building. Allensville Hillbillies could not do it without the
generosity of donors like you. Chasitiy Sowers – (740) 887-3941
