PINERIDGE SCHOOL PARENT ASSOCIATION
IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE READ!
If you only volunteer for one thing this school year,
this is the BIG ONE! We will need you,
your friends and family, and anyone else you may know that would be able and
willing to help out! The next Pineridge
School Parent Association Casino Fundraiser will take place in the Spring of
2018 (dates still to be announced), and our casino fundraisers generally bring
in upwards of $65,000.00! (Sometimes even over $80,000.00!)
Volunteering for a Casino Fundraiser is EASY, fun
(honestly), and the $$ they bring in for our school is beyond meaningful! The last PSPA Casino Fundraiser was in
October of 2016, and the PSPA made $67,013.45
by volunteering at it!
PSPA Casino Fundraisers fund a lot of items and
opportunities at our school that our students otherwise would not receive, such
as field trips, equipment/technology/resource material upgrades, residency
programs and SO MUCH MORE.
We are only eligible to work a Casino Fundraiser every
18 months. Casino fundraisers run
over two days at one of the casinos in Calgary, and require a commitment of
over 40 volunteers! - THIS IS WHY WE ARE
RECRUITING EARLY and sending home this information today – because as long as we have enough people to work, we earn the mega
money for our school, but without enough volunteers, we will have to
forfeit our opportunity to participate in Casino Fundraisers, and therefore lose
out on all the revenue and opportunities they bring.
PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR VOLUNTEER FORMS AND INDICATE THAT YOU MAY BE AVAILABLE AS A CASINO VOLUNTEER
IN 2018.
NOTE: No prior experience
is needed for any casino volunteer position, and no position is “hard.” – You
will not be a Black Jack dealer for the day, or anything like that, and many of
the volunteer positions will require NO public socializing/mingling or math
skills… (Some of the positions include
cashing in winnings, and bringing more chips to game tables) Also, school volunteer security clearance
checks are NOT necessary for volunteering at casino fundraisers.
Please
fill out your volunteer form accordingly so the PSPA has the right to contact
you when our Spring 2018 Casino Fundraiser dates are released to see if you may
be available to volunteer for it.
Further information about the Casino fundraiser, and the volunteer
positions will be sent home in the months to come, once our dates are
announced.
If you have not yet filled out a Volunteer Form, please ask for one by leaving a note in your child's agenda, or by inquiring at the main office.
