Creative Fundraising

 So the team has been busy brainstorming ideas for fundraisers that can benefit not only the team and the project, but the community around us as well. One great example of this are our famous indoor yard sales. We make pure profit off of this fundraiser since all our stuff is donated, and we sell it for donation, allowing people in the community that need clothing and household necessities get them for the price they name.
We would love to come up with some original ideas for fundraisers that are helpful and fun.
So, what ideas do you have? We're open to consider anything. 

Leave your ideas as blog comments, or find the discussion board topic on our facebook fan page - MCRC Dominican Outreach Team.

Christmas Time is Here!

Why not kick off your holiday season with an old fashioned tree search? The Dominican team will be having their very own Christmas Tree sale at Mason County Reformed Church on Saturday, December 4 and Saturday, December 11 from 10am-6pm.
Get a good tree for a good price for a good cause! Trees will be priced between $15-$20! AND there will be FREE hot chocolate! Come on down and start a family tradition. We'll provide the traditional Christmas music, bonfire, traditional crafts, and yummy food for sale. Make your tree shopping like the ones you see in the movies.

Contact MCRC with any questions!

Yard Sale Success!

Thanks to everyone that made it out to our indoor yard sale event this past Saturday! It was a HUGE success, with by far the most stuff we've ever had at a sale! The team managed to raise $1289 from the sale.
Our next scheduled event will be the November 19-20th art show at the Knights of Columbus hall on Jebavy drive in Ludington. We'll be selling crafts and food at the show.
We currently are selling apple pies and caramel corn too. They will be here just in time for Thanksgiving and the holiday season! Be sure to order yours today for your family and friends.
The caramel corn makes a great gift-basket filler for Christmas, and the pies a wonderful addition to your holiday meal.
