TrEC Fundraiser
HELP!!!!!
TrEC needs your help. We are having a fundraiser to help keep TrEC going. Here are a few facts for you to know:
It costs about $4,500 to hold each TrEC weekend. We have 2 weekends a year, so that’s 9,000 buckaroos to do God’s business for a whole year.
Each weekend, we receive approximately $3,750 in team and alp fees, that’s if we have 45 team members and 30 alps. Let’s see - $3,750 times 2 equals $7,500. That’s $1,500 less than what we pay out. Sort of like how the federal government does business.
So …
Every 2 years TrEC does a fundraiser to make up the difference. Our goal is to raise $2,500 and we hopefully get $1,250 in matching funds from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. These are the folks who helped get TrEC started.
This year the TrEC fundraiser is a silent auction. A silent auction is where people and organizations donate things to be auctioned off. People bid on the items through the web and also in person by writing down what they want to pay for the items – hence the silent auction.
The auction is going to be held on November 23rd either at Bethel Lutheran or Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in the Springs. We are planning a thanksgiving celebration on the 23rd, including a soup/bread supper and also a collection of canned goods for the homeless and hungry. Plus a few other surprises – and you know how cool TrEC surprises can be!
10 percent of the funds raised will be given to benefit ELCA World Hunger and the Second Wind Teen Suicide Awareness fund in honor of Pastor Roger Magnuson, Bill Sanford Sr, and Helen Harris – three Trecies who have summited with our Lord this year.
We are still working out a few details, but that’s okay, we’ll pass them on.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP!
Obviously, we need stuff to auction off. If your parent’s own or work for a business or you know friend’s parents who do, please ask them if they would consider donating some goods or services for the auction. If you could, take a friend and go around to businesses – like restaurants, Wal-Mart, specialty shops, movie theaters, and so on, and ask them.
We have created a request letter that you can give them to explain what we are doing. Check the TrEC website for the letter.
Bring the donations to the next TrEC Rendezvous on Nov 1 at Bethel.
