Door Sales at Hypnotist Show

The bus society’s hypnosis comedy fundraiser show is tomorrow night.

There will be door sales.

Reminder, please could bus families help out by providing a plate of baking. We’re providing a light supper in the ticket price and home baking will help us to keep our costs down. Baking contributions can be dropped off to Gail in the Resource Room (old Library) today or tomorrow.

EFTPOS will be available. Good idea to bring some coins for our games and raffles. Raffle prizes include a bottle of fine port, Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag, magazine subscription, Ecoya candles, and more.

Motorhome holiday up for grabs

The Newman family has generously donated a five-night 4-berth TrailLite motorhome holiday for auction at the bus society’s comedy hypnotist fundraiser evening this Friday.

If you’re not able to attend the event on Friday and would really love a campervan holiday, you’re most welcome to place an absentee pre-bid. You can do so by contacting our wonderful bus driver Gail.

The bus society is very grateful to the Newman family and loyal bus sponsor TrailLite for their ongoing support.

Plea to Bus Families

Dear fellow bus families,

The bus fees we pay go towards the cost of operating the bus but they don’t cover all operating expenses. Subscriptions fall short $10,000 each year on operating costs alone and we collectively need to offset the difference through fundraising, otherwise it will be a case of increasing bus family fees in 2017 to make up some of the shortfall. The bus society may also need to revisit the discounted school charter rate which would impact school trip prices.

So please get behind the Pukekohe East School Bus Society’s hypnotist fundraiser evening next Friday 12th August. This is our one big fundraiser for the school bus this year and we need your help to raise money from the community.

Here’s how you can help:

Invite friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, everyone, to the comedy hypnotist fundraiser. They can buy their tickets online at eventfinda.co.nz. Search ‘Dave Upfold’.
Please could you help out by providing a plate of baking. We’re providing a light supper in the ticket price and home baking will help us to keep our costs down. Please drop off your baking to Gail in the Resource Room (old Library) on Thursday or Friday next week.

Thanks for your support.
From your Bus Society Executive

Sarah Beston, Sally Grey, Lara Utatao and Lisa Wharfe.
