My Russian students need your help...

[Yuliya I. Ballou]

Dear all,

I apologize in advance if you have already seen this on Facebook. Many
thanks if you have already contributed  and/ or emailed everyone in your
address book: )

My students (6 of them) and I, along with some adults (a teacher, a
librarian and a parent) are going to Russia this April. We have been
working very hard to fund-raise for the trip and are running fund-raisers
(like Russian pancake brunches, maybe some of you can come to the next one
- 4/6 10-2pm, Elks club in Springfield, and raffles) up until a couple of
days before we head for Russia.

One of my students introduced me to the "crowd-sourcing", and since most of
the kids still need to come up with a bunch of money before the trip, we
decided to try this new way of fund-raising...

If you could help my students by donating or by forwarding (or posting on
Facebook/ Twitter?) the link to anyone you think might be interested in
helping us, or just ask your friends and family to help us spread the word.
Students have been working very hard planning and doing various
fund-raisers, but many of them still need to come up with a large chunk of
money. This particular fund-raiser was discovered and set up by one of the
students traveling to Russia on behalf of all of the kids going. So they
all will benefit. Please email me with any questions or concerns. Thank
you!!!!

If you would like to donate, but would rather do it via mail, that works
for us just fine and is even better in a way (that would give all the funds
directly to the kids, as gofundme.com does charge a total of a bit less
than 8% in fees, which is not too bad considering we get to reach out to so
many people)
Checks would need to be written to:"SHS Russian Club" and our address is:
SHS Russian Club, SHS, 303 South Street, Springfield, VT 05156.

We also have a *raffle* going on, if you would rather participate in that.
If you sent us a check for that, I'd take care of writing out the raffle
tickets (all the details are below). All the prizes are donated so students
get 100% profit from the ticket sales.
