Posted Friday, 4/4/2008 (1:45 a.m.): This note comes from Amanda Brown, Ruth Mary Leavitt Scholarship Committee Chairwoman, regarding some upcoming fundraisers: Hello Missouri Jobies! It is time once again to raise money for the Ruth Mary Leavitt scholarship fund. There are two upcoming events where we will be doing this. The first will be on April, 19th at the Grand Bethel Honored Queen reception for Diane Lynch, following Bethel 50’s Official Visit. We will be raffling off baskets by silent auction. We also would like to have another theme basket auction at Grand Session. These baskets will be available for bidding all weekend and will be given to the highest bidder at the Sunday morning breakfast. Due to the success of the auction last year, we are again asking that each bethel donate a themed basket at Grand Session. Some good ideas for themes are: chocolate, socks, movies, BBQ, Disney and so on. Be Creative, the more unusual ones are usually what sell for the highest. There will be a table set up near registration on Thursday at Grand Session where the baskets should be dropped off. They should be delivered to the table during the time allotted for competitions. If you will be unable to have the basket dropped off before competitions are over, please contact me before hand so other arrangements can be made. The April 19th fundraiser will go towards scholarships to be given away this year. Money from the basket auction at Grand Session will be given at the 2009 Grand Session. Please help our girls continue with their education. If you have any questions please contact me with the information provided below. Thank
