Chinook Books
Each family is asked to sell books to friends, family, etc. The preschool makes a profit on
each book sold. This fundraising takes place typically during the month of September.
What is a Chinook Book? It is a coupon book that saves you money at local, sustainable
businesses, and a resource for information on living green in our community.
What do I do with it? Save lots of money on things you’d buy anyway. Support great local
businesses. Give them as great gifts!

Auction
The auction is our biggest fundraising activity of the year. It does take a lot of work to
pull an auction together, but the auction rewards us heartily for our effort. We increase
our chances of a successful auction and minimize the burden on each family if we have
everyone’s full, whole-hearted participation. There are two areas in which each family
is expected to help… ticket sales and item procurement. In addition to a fundraiser, the
auction is also a fun celebration of our preschool community. The auction is generally
held sometime in the spring. The 2012 auction will be held on Friday, March 16th at the
Kennedy School. Everyone is welcome.
