ANNUAL STONE SOUP DINNER & AUCTION FUNDRAISER!

NOVEMBER 12, 2011

LIBERTYVILLE CIVIC CENTER

IT’S HERE!! – Auction Preview Catalog!  This is your chance to check out in advance what wonderful items and fun is in store at this year’s Auction & Dinner Fundraiser.

Access the Preview Catalog here: 2011 Stone Soup Auction Preview Catalog.

This year’s theme is again based on the age-old tale of Stone Soup, a tale of cooperation and coming together of community, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  A great event is planned with lots of wonderful items available and FUN!  So please plan to join us! This event is our largest community-building event of the year, where we all come together in fellowship to share, care and be together.  Plus, there’s the added benefit that proceeds from this event account for 10% of PCUUC’s annual budget AND 10% of the proceeds are donated to PADS and Avon Township Food Pantry.  Just like in the age-old story of the Stone Soup, if we all come together with something to add to the ‘Soup,’ we’ll have a great result! A successful event helps further our Congregation’s mission of providing meaningful Sunday services, taking care of each other and serving justice projects in the larger community – among other important endeavors! See you on November 12!

Stone Soup Dinner & Auction Planning Committee

The Fundraising Committee is looking for someone to help get our PCUUC online store up and running and then manage the store on an on-going basis.  The store will sell a host of PCUUC merchandise. 

We estimate this volunteer opportunity to be between 2 -5 hours a month.

Please contact Dayle or Jan at Fundraising@PrairieCircleUUC.org.  Thank you!

Did you know that the Prairie Pennies Program raised $2,000 last year?  The Fundraising Committee is looking for an energetic and enthusiastic team member to coordinate the communications and advertising portion of this flagship fundraising program. 

If you are interested in donating your time and talent we would be happy to have you.  No experience is necessary. We will work with you to develop your skills and processes to help make your volunteer hours as impactful as possible.

We estimate this volunteer opportunity to be between 2 -5 hours a month.

Please contact Dayle or Jan at Fundraising@PrairieCircleUUC.org for more information about this opportunity, or simply attend our next committee meeting.

The Fundraising Committee is in need of more helping hands.  There are several passive fundraising opportunities that could benefit PCCUC, however, our committee members are all working at or above capacity.  We would love to get a new committee member who could focus on expanding the passive fundraising portion of our fundraising strategy.  This person would be tasked with researching, planning, and implementing as many passive fundraisers as possible.

We estimate this volunteer opportunity to be between 2 -5 hours a month.

Passive Fundraisers are fundraising opportunities that allow PCUUC to get fundraising dollars without our members having to actually pay us.  An example of a passive fundraiser is GoodSearch.  You can learn more about this and see how this works on our Other Fundraising Initiatives page.

Please contact Dayle or Jan at Fundraising@PrairieCircleUUC.org. Thank you!
