CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS AND PLANNERS!!
VOLUNTEERS! We need to get volunteers up and running to help out with Project Graduation 2023. We want to make sure we have a great grad night event for our Class of 2023 to end their senior year in a special way. Planning, fundraising, sponsorships, and other activities need to start happening soon to make it all happen by the end of this school year.
Project Graduation is its own entity and has its own President, Secretary, Treasurer, Bank Account, Fundraising, etc. In years past, grad night has been held at Main Event where the entire space is rented and different vendors like magicians, fortune tellers, etc. are hired to make the atmosphere fun…but the festivities can be anywhere/whatever the Project Grad team decides and makes the most sense. The event is totally free to all graduating seniors of MHS.
There are several positions – in both chair and leadership areas – that need to be filled:
President – Someone to coordinate the meetings and delegate to other groups and just make sure things are progressing.
Vice President – Assisting where needed, helping make sure it’s all getting done.
Treasurer – Someone to manage the books and financial aspects of Project Grad.
Event Coordinator(s) – This person/group would schedule Main Event (or whatever venue is decided), and book entertainment, etc.
Student Prize Coordinator(s) – This person/group would request donations from businesses to give away to students in a raffle-type setting the night of the event.
Sponsorships –This team will solicit fundraising requests from local businesses, seek family sponsorships, etc.
Fundraising Chairs needed:
· Poinsettia orders – There is a vendor in place, but the actual sales and coordination need to be established.
· Yard Sign Orders – There is a Class of 2023 yard sign design available for order or a new design can be developed. Vendors are in place but coordination for purchase, delivery, and customization needs to be put in place
· Spirit Nights at various restaurants, etc. Set up and advertising within the community
· Flamingo Flockings – Fun for a group to flock yards with flamingos for those who sign up and pay. Only available to be flocked in the McNeil attendance zone. All supplies are already on-hand and can begin advertising the service right away as soon as we have someone/group to do the flockings.
· Pet Clinics – We already have a pet clinic scheduled on September 14th, and there will be another in January.
· T-Shirt Sales - If it is determined that a senior shirt/parent shirt is to be sold as a fundraiser, this position needs to be filled.
· Other fundraising ideas as they come!
If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping get this setup, that would be great. We would like to set up an initial meeting, either virtual or in person, in the next week or two if we can get some of these leadership positions in place.
Please email mcneilprojectgraduationboard@gmail.com to let us know your interest area and how we can get something great in place for our Class of 2023 Seniors!
