Scrapbooking Fundraiser - Urgent responses needed

Friends of PHN Bands – we need your help!
Our Annual Scrapbook Event is coming up next Saturday, April 22. As of this morning, there are very few volunteers signed up.  We have only a couple helpers, and a very minimal amount of food. 
Here’s the problem – if we can’t see a BIG jump in the number of people signing up for helper spots, food and donations for the raffle by MONDAY, we will need to cancel the event.  That will certainly disappoint the scrapbookers who have signed up and are excited support our organization!
Please, please log into Charms and choose a volunteer spot that works best for you!
Friday Set-up: Volunteers 

Saturday Event day: Volunteers

Of particular need is food for the breakfast, lunch and dinner we provide our participants.  We are serving breakfast casseroles and an oatmeal bar in the morning, soups and salads for lunch and pasta for dinner.  We like to keep some granola bars and snacks out during the day, and desserts after lunch and dinner. Like last year, we’ve made it super easy – the soups we are requesting are the frozen ones from GFS.  Just pop them in your crockpot, add the appropriate liquid listed on the package and plug it in!  Perfect for everyone’s busy schedule.
Breakfast foods & Drinks:

Meals/Snacks:

Our third BIG need is for donations for the raffle.  We make quite a bit of money for our program from the proceeds of the raffle items!! Gift baskets, gift certificates, gift cards, items donated by local businesses – anything goes.  Not feeling handy in the gift basket department? If you can donate some items, your Scrapbook Committee will be happy to assemble them for you during the set up Friday evening!
Donations:

Thank you so much for your help in making this a wonderful event!
