Veribest High School T.A.F.E. - The Hope of Tomorrow

MARY KAY fundraiser

2009-09-26T09:39:00.000-07:00

Ok, y'all! We are going to try to sell Mary Kay as a continuous fundraiser. This is an opportunity to raise a lot of money! We can earn 50% of product price! There is a catch on this - to profit 50%, we must place a minimum monthly order of $200. This is not hard if we all start buying from Mary Kay and get our friends and relatives to do so as well.

Why should Walmart or Target or Dillards profit from our skin care needs?! Let's buy from ourselves so we can make an awesome trip to the State meet in San Marcos this Spring!!!

The more money we earn, the more we can do with TAFE. So start shopping! :)

I plan to place the order on the 5th of each month, so first order will be October 5th.
I hope and pray that this works!
