From Class Parents

Dear 4B Parents!

 Re: Candle Fundraiser

The 4B Class Parents Committee is off to a glowing start. We have decided on organizing a candle fundraiser. The quality hand-dipped candles from Ljusmannen should be a hot item to sell over the coming weeks and if all goes as planned we expect to turn a good profit to go towards the class pot. We believe that we can sell 20 boxes per child but we will divide this up into two installments, and begin by ordering 10 boxes per child.

What: We will go with the suggested retail price of 110 SEK per box. The majority of the boxes will have classic white candles but we also plan to order some boxes of red. Depending on the marketing material we receive and feedback, we might be open to accepting orders for other colors that would be then delivered in the 2^nd installment.

When: Charles Gill is scheduled to present the fundraiser to the kids at school on Tuesday, October 10^th. The candles should arrive as early as next week, perhaps by Thursday, October 12^th.

Where: Anna Hahne has offered her home as a pick-up depot as she lives very close to the school. When the candles are ready we’ll communicate the address and you can coordinate with Anna for pick-up (or drone delivery)

Payments: It looks like that we’ll use one Swish number as the primary payment method. It’s important that the purchaser note the name of the child in the Swish payment, or that the parent consolidates the payments and forwards the sum amount to the class account (via Swish or bank transfer).

Orders: We aim to place our 2^nd installment order as soon as possible and for this it would be helpful with feedback continuously or at least before höstlov. 

Communication: We will likely create a FB page at the appropriate time so that parents have the option to Like/Share with FB friends and family and alert them of the ongoing fundraiser. This would be communicated through the existing FB group for the class. It looks like we will also have a simple webpage (johannesclass2020.wixsite.com/candles) where we can consolidate all the information about the fundraiser and perhaps even display a graph with how things are progressing.

Contact info: Our group email address (JohannesClass2020@gmail.com) is preferred but if you have questions specific to one of the parent organizers then feel free to contact them directly.

Regards,

Johannes 4B Class Parents
