Peru Travelers
Yardsale & BBQ Fundraiser @ Prescott from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm
rain date Sunday, October 12th
We will have a yard sale, bake sale, and wait for it, wait for it, .... Mr. Mastrullo’s famous hotdogs will also be on sale. Don't want hot dogs for breakfast, try his sausage and cheese breakfast sandwiches. The funds are to help support some of the service and other activities we want to do for our trip. We will need help on Friday night from 5:00 - 7:00, to receive and organize goods for our sale. Here is what you need to be doing now:
Sign-up to help-we need help with advertising, baking, actual working the event
Start collecting things to sell and asking others for things we might sell
Students kicking off the event should arrive 1 hour early at 7:00 am to help with set up
We are going to take any leftover items to Savers in Nashua, so we need to collect only those things they will accept. Click here for the list of acceptable items and those you should avoid check their website.
Super Excited Chaperones!
Getting Pumped for the Trip!
What Are Your Questions?
We Need to Communicate!
Joining our Peru Celly Group
In order to communicate as we get ready for our travel to Peru I would like you to join a Celly group. Celly is a cell phone program that will allow me to send bulk text messages to everyone who has a phone with texting capability. When you join the group, I do not have access to your phone number and no one else will have this information either. You may respond back, but I am the only person who will see your message. I can also respond back to you in private. You will be asked to make a user name, please make your name something that will allow me to identify you. Example: Jerickson, which is my first initial and last name. Here are the instructions
- Open a text message
- In the recipient screen type: 23559
- In the message screen type: peru2015
- Send!
You should now receive a welcome message from me that says:
Welcome to our Peru Celly! I look forward to our travel together and all the activities we will have, as we get ready for this great adventure.
Please let me know if you have trouble connecting to this program or if you cannot receive text messages to your phone. The Celly texts you receive are to provide you additional instructions or to serve as reminders.
