Fete Countdown - 5 Months to go | Fundraising Directory and Ideas

Tip:
Community FB Pages

Hello!
I wanted to introduce myself… I am a co-convenor of the Fete and Fundraising subcommittee at Marshall Road State School. The reason I wanted to let you all know is because we are always on the hunt for empty garden pots, glass jars and other random items! Our fete is on May 26th 2019 so we are also currently looking for second hand books, clothes and toys… Basically, if you are planning on doing a clean out over the holidays, please keep us in mind. I am happy to pick up your pre-loved items locally as well 🙂

Tip: logistics what you need to local community – can they help?
