__________________________________________________________ Robinson Teacher Appreciation Dinner: Thursday December 5th, 4:30-6:00pm Robinson CafeteriaMany dishes still needed, please help... This years theme is "Time Of Our Lives." Some good old-fashioned comfort food dishes would be a great start, but we are looking for whatever dishes you love to make and want to share. We will be providing dinner for the teachers and staff of approximately 80 people. Please sign up via our Google form HERE. Email Dawn Saba at dmh_saba@yahoo.com with any questions. Thank You! _________________________________________ Creative ways to help our schools... A Message From MESA Ways and Means Board Member Sue Kucharski  As the Vice President of Ways and Means for MESA, I have been trying to think of new, fun ways to raise money for our schools. I like to eat and entertain, so I asked a few women in my neighborhood with kids in our elementary schools if they'd be interested in coming to my house for a potluck/fundraiser dinner. I would make the main course and provide the drinks, they would bring a side dish or a dessert and also make a donation to MESA in an amount that they would have spent had we gone out to dinner instead. The idea was met with such enthusiasm that the original group of six, including myself, turned into a group of eleven! Proof that the parents in our town are eager to help improve our schools!
I have to say, we had so much fun. We ate so well, we got to spend some quality time together, and to top it off, we raised $410 for MESA!
If this idea appeals to you, I encourage you to try it, whether it's with your friends or neighbors.
Another Fun Way to Give
If you are having a cookie swap, a holiday party, or book club meeting, put out a jar for people to drop a few dollars in for MESA. For the second year in a row, MESA received a check in the mail from someone who did just that at her Halloween party and raised $120!
Thank you! __________________________________________________________  Annual Coat/Hat/Mitten Drive for Westside Benevolent Circle Is Almost Here!!!
