Another weekend, another party…

…another $5 birthday card

 

Is it just us, or is the cost of greeting cards a little ridiculous? When you’re attending a children’s birthday party every other weekend, it adds up pretty quickly.

That’s why, for our first major fundraiser this year, we’ve decided to offer you – and your friends and family – the chance to save some of your hard-earned cash with boxes of high quality, Australian-made greeting cards for just $1 per card!

Every $10 box contains 10 different cards, each uniquely embellished with pop-up inserts, reflective foil, embossing and glitter. Each card is packed in a protective sleeve with a matching envelope.

The cards will be distributed in carry bags containing six boxes. We ask that all members take at least one bag to sell to friends and family. Each carry bag comprises:

• 2 x celebrations cards set
• 2 x birthday cards set A
• 2 x birthday cards set B

 

Sell them at the office, playgroups, school, sporting or social clubs, or sell them to friends whose children will have endless birthday parties to attend, month after month! Save money and plan ahead by buying a few boxes for home!

Cards are now available for pick up from the Carlton and Kensington MCTL branches, and funds raised from the sale of cards should be returned to the MCTL within two weeks.

Please help us reach our target of $1000 to support the toy library and buy new and exciting toys for young and curious minds.

BONUS CHALLENGE! Free Membership Upgrade! 

Are you a fundraising master? Sell three or more carry bags (minimum sale of 18 boxes) and receive a free upgrade to your MCTL membership on your next renewal.
