Hauser PTO is trying out a new online payment system called Cheddar Up.  Unlike some other payment systems we’ve tried that charged us transaction fees, Cheddar Up is always free for the collector (PTO)!  It’s linked to PayPal, so if you’d like to buy Family Dinner tickets, for instance, you can pay via your PayPal account and you won’t incur any fees.  If you don’t have a PayPal account, don’t worry, you can use a credit/debit card and only incur a small fee (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction).  Of course, you’ll still be able to make traditional cash or check payments.

The good news is that we can accept online payments without incurring fees that dip into our profits!! Look for a Cheddar Up link in conjunction with our upcoming fundraiser. If you have any questions about this, please contact Carol Barlow at carol377@att.net.

January 2015 Agenda

Every year at our PTO Family Dinner, we have a wonderful raffle to raise additional funds for our PTO programs. The dinner is in February this year, and we’re looking for volunteers to serve on the raffle committee to solicit and collect donations of raffle items and help coordinate the event during the dinner.

We are also looking for raffle items to be donated! If you own a business and have a product or service to offer, please consider making a donation. We can provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.

Please contact Romy Vargas-Gil at missromy@aol.com or Carol Barlow at carol377@att.net for more information.
