It's Sunflower's first Freecycle Fundraiser Party!
Because the best things in life are free......
What is a freecycle party? Everyone brings new or lightly used toys, clothes, and household items that need a good home. On the night of the freecycle, you get to "shop" all of the items, for free! We will put names in a hat for items that have a current value of over $65, and the item will then be given to the person who wins. Light food and drink will also be provided. This event is only open to Sunflower families. Save the date, the party will be at 7:00 pm, Thursday, Sept. 15.
What about the fundraising? The goal of this event is to raise money to purchase instruments, and bring more music into the Seedlings experience. To join in the fun, each Sunflower family will be asked to pay a door fee of $20.

More details
What to donate? This is your chance for guilt free re-gifting! Clothes, toys, and household items will all be accepted. Please donate new or gently used items in good condition; clothes need to be free of stains or pilling. Please keep this event in mind as you do your spring cleaning and back to school organizing.
When to drop off? From Sept. 7-14, on Seedlings days. As we need to organize the items, please make your donation at least one day prior to the event.
Anything else? If you'd like to help out, please contact event organizers Jennifer Ligeti, Crystal MacLean, or Denise Carreau, 561 452-8411. You can bring a dish to the event or help organize items.
Need Childcare? Please let us know early as there will be a limited number of spots available for $10 per child.
See you at the party!
