Dear Colleagues,
The Vista Education Foundation (VEF) is holding it's first annual fundraiser this Saturday evening, April 25th, 6:00-10:00 PM at 355 W. Vista Way (across from the Ford dealership & just east of the Vista Entertainment Center).
The evening is chock full of entertainment such as:
* Texas Hold-Em Tournament (including a cash prize for the top three players)
* DJ & dancing
* Taste of Vista--local restaurants sharing their cuisine
* Casino night--with the cost of admission each person will receive $100 in chips
* Games include:
* Blackjack
* Roulette
* Craps
* Prizes for top winners
* 50/50 Raffles
* Student entertainment
What do our schools stand to gain from this event?
Money, money and more money to purchase much needed technology for our schools such as wireless laptops, software and desktop computers.
We need your help. As part of our school community your $25 tax deductible donation will help VEF reach it's goal of $150,000-$200,000. Tickets may be purchased from your school office manager.
The VEF is a non-profit corporation founded by local leaders who recognize the need to support education in Vista. The VEF forges partnerships with the business community to enhance or replace programs that have been trimmed or lost due to budget cutbacks. It was established to help generate financial resources for Vista Schools. In the past VEF has provided laptops, books and scholarships for our classrooms and students.
Imagine if every teacher in our school district donated $25 a piece, this would equal $31,250. What a way to show our support for this worthy endeavor! Remember, the funds raised at this event will go right back into our classrooms!
