Yes, it’s that time of year again, when the kids are busy raising funds for their school. Once upon a time, back when I was in school, that sort of thing was reserved for Extra Special Stuff. Nowadays, it’s practically required in order to pay for anything other than a cinder-block lean-to filled with 60 kids per class.
Once again, Kitten’s school is raising money through Innisbrook, known for its fashionable gift wrap, etc. (it really is pretty high-quality stuff). Here’s the official letter that they efficiently provide us:
My school’s annual fundraiser with Innisbrook has begun. Innisbrook Wraps has beautifully designed gift wrap printed on quality recycled paper, coordinating gift wrap accessories,
gourmet foods and fine Helen Grace Chocolates that make great gifts, Time Inc. magazine subscriptions, and more.For every item that is purchased, Innisbrook donates up to 50% of the purchase price to my school. I also earn a prize credit for every item purchased except school supplies. The more prize credits I earn, the more prizes I win!
Please consider visiting the Innisbrook website and making a purchase on my behalf. A link is included below. Our sale will be over soon, so don’t wait. Place your order today.
Thanks for your help!

If you have any interest, please feel free to contribute to the cause. Nobody reading this should feel under any obligation to do so, however. 🙂 The sale ends on Monday the 15th (yes, I’ve been a slug in getting this posted).
They’ve been nice enough to allow a “I don’t want stuff, I just want to contribute” mechanism for those who want to give directly to the Franklin PTO (a 501C-3 organization, so it’s considered tax-deductible). You can do so at any time, following the (unfortunately manual) process here. Since I’ve been laggardly in getting this posted, it might be a push to get it back to them by Monday. If you want to make a direct cash donation, then, let us know and we’ll do it for you, and you can send us a check.
That ends this solicitation for fund-raising. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
