The Treasurer of the Orange Grove P&C has quite a responsible job! This includes receiving and depositing money coming in to the P&C (from the canteen, uniform shop and fundraising activities), drawing cheques and providing cash floats. This requires the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer to be at the school once a week, usually on Friday, and to be able to access our Westpac Branch in Leichhardt as required.The Orange Grove P&C has a dedicated laptop with accounting software which the Treasurer uses to maintain financial records - these are presented at each of our seven monthly meetings.
Our final Car Boot Sale for 2008 is just around the corner - if you haven’t yet booked your own ‘boot’ in, don’t forget that school community members are very welcome, and the gate charge is $30 for Orange Grove school community members to find some new owners for your excess goodies - just call Suzie on 0402 893 505 to reserve a spot!!Check your diaries, if you can help out as a parker or gatekeeper (6.30am to 9am) or would like to try sizzling sausages (9am to 12.30), look for the roster next week on the P&C Noticeboard in Block B. We are looking forward to a really successful day, hope to see everyone there enjoying themselves!
Our next (Fun)draising Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 4th November, and we will be discussing our final fundraising events for 2008, including the Trivia Night in November. It has been a busy year this year, and we still have some great challenges ahead, so come along to the meeting if you are interested in finding out more!What: November Fundraising Meeting.
Last Saturday started off cool, but the heat wasn’t long in coming! Despite a reduced crowd of shoppers at the Growers Markets, our cake stall managed to net $360 towards our fundraising efforts! A huge thank-you to all those who volunteered their baking skills, their time on the day, or who visited the stall and went home with some freshly baked goodies - you are all wonderful. This was our last cake stall for 2008, and we look forward to getting those ovens going next year!!
This week saw a wonderful turn out for the walking school bus, and the trip was delightful!! Next week we will be heading into school on Melbourne Cup Day, so we welcome any passengers who wish to get into the equestrian feel of the morning!! Maybe you have a toy horse who would like to get out into the fresh air and feel the wind in it’s mane, or perhaps our passengers would enjoy a brisk trot or canter into school to get the day off to a racing start!! Join us when we start from the corner of Church & Mary streets, or walk to the Grocer’s on the corner of Mary St and we can pick you up! Giddy-up everyone!! And don’t forget, if you would like to try Driving or Conducting let one of the operators know!The WSB will run again on Tuesday 4th November.
