Winter 2009

Happy New Year Everyone

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for your contributions to fundraising during the fall session and to welcome the many new faces that have joined the club for the winter session.

The results for fall fundraising have now been finalized and will be available over the next couple of weeks.

During the fall period we ran many initiatives to help families meet the fundraising obligations such as the Silent Auction. Purdy Chocolate sales, Papa Murphy cards and a few more.

The winter session has now begun and I would like to tell each of you we will be stepping up the initiatives to make it easier for each of us to meet the fundraising obligations.

Over the next couple of days I will be sending out the first initiative that will begin this coming weekend. Please take the time to check your emails and be sure to get your child/children involved.

We have many fundraising initiatives that will be presented. Along with the seasonal initiatives we have a couple of permanent initiatives available that I will recap and send out to everyone over the next few days in a separate email.

Please take the time periodically to check your folders (every family has a folder) in the blue box at the teach pool. At times you may need to access this box to either leave communication in the fundraising folder or to check your own folder for updated communication. Communications for fundraising can also be left in my family folder. If the blue box is not out during the swim maintenance times on weekends please check with your coach as they have access to the cage in the equipment room in which it is kept.

If anyone has ideas that you would like to bring forward regarding fundraising and possibly lead it, this would be greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to step forward and lead some of the initiatives that we will be running with this session, again it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any interest please email me directly at drosec@telus.net.


Thank you,

Bottle Depot Fundraising

For all of you looking for a way to support your fundraising obligations here it is;

Accounts are set up at both Haney Bottle Depot located at 2-22935 Lougheed Highway (east end of town) and Maple Ridge Bottle Depot located at 15-20475 Lougheed Highway (behind Shoppers & Save on Foods).

All you need to do is take your empties in, sort them and cash them in. Let them know you are from the Haney Neptune Swim Club and have them put it under that account. You will receive a receipt with the total that you cashed in. Put your family name on the back of the receipt and the first name of your swimmer. Please put all receipts in the blue communication box at the pool. Either put them in the fundraising folder or in my family folder. The blue box is usually out on the bleachers during weekend maintenance. If it is not there check with the coach as it is in the equipment room cage beside the teach pool. Please send me an email that you have put a receipt in the box.

This is a great way to pay off your fundraising obligations as every dollar you receive goes towards the deposit cheques that we hope to give back to you at the end of the winter session.

Please email me at drosec@telus.net if you have any questions.

Fundraising opportunity for all

Fundraising Chocolate BarI have our first fundraising initiative ready to go. I would like to start by telling each of you that when you enrolled for the winter session you wrote out a cheque for $50 that will be cashed at the end of the season if your family does not hit the minimum $50 on fundraising. My goal is to help each of you reach your mark and hopefully surpass that which of course will help the club. My goal is to see all cheques returned rather than be cashed.

With that all said PURDY'S is back!

Everyone knows the Purdy reputation for quality. We have FRESH single Milk Chocolate Bars that sell for only $2 each. Conveniently packaged cartons that are easy to carry and contain 20 bars per box. For each bar that you sell $1 is credited towards your fundraising obligations for the winter. These are very easy to sell. If each family can sell two boxes for 40 bars than you have almost met your goal. I do have limited quantities so its first come first served. Please email me directly with how many boxes you would like and I will be at the Leisure Center on Saturday and Sunday from 2:30 to 3:30 to hand these out.

This is a great fundraiser in which the kids can get involved. They can sell them door to door (with supervision) or they can take them to school to sell.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at dosec@telus.net

Again I have limited quantities so please get back to me by email.


Thank you

Did you ever wonder what the WD in WD-40 stands for? The name was lifted right out chemist Norm Larsen's laboratory notebook. Way back in 1953, he was trying to concoct an anti-corrosion formula, which worked on the basic principle of displacing water. On his 40th try, Larsen finally got it right. Hence the name WD-40. It literally means Water Displacer, 40th try.

In four separate instances between October 1987 and February 1988, small pink frogs rained down from the sky on to various parts of Great Britain. Scientists are still uncertain as to where these frogs originated, although some have traced them back to the Sahara desert.

Sending your kids our to fundraise

When selling those chocolate bars door to door (believe me, it’s a great learning experience for kids!) remember:
Don't send your sellers out unprepared. Part of youth sports is teaching. Helping kids with their sales skills goes a long way toward building self confidence.

Here's what to tell them:

  1. Make eye contact, smile and introduce yourself.
  2. Say one sentence about why you are raising funds.
  3. Say second sentence that asks for their help.
  4. Make sure that sentence includes the word "because".
  5. Extend sample item, catalog, or order sheet.
  6. Suggest a personal favorite item or bundle.
  7. Always ask for the order.

Do you have a good fundraising idea? Help the Haney Neptunes fundraise and parents to earn their fundraising dollars. Please bring your ideas forward. We are looking for parents to bring ideas and run individual fundraiser events. If you know of a company or organization that would be willing to provide sponsorship, then please let us know. Corporate sponsors are a cornerstone to the fundraising process and the Neptunes can work out a variety of ways to advertise our sponsors.
