Cool Fundraisers!

Stacy on Shopping - Wed, August 20 2008

I'm sure there are a bunch of people on here doing this, but I wanted to let everyone know so no one misses out. The groups may make a post about it, so hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes here! ARPO is selling Yankee candles as a fundraiser. I have a few catalogs, and they have beautiful candle holders, candles, gift sets, etc. The catalogs are even scented, so you can smell some of the candles!! Too cool!! The product will arrive in November, in time for Christmas. If you buy Yankee anyway, you may as well get in on this. It looks like the prices are the same in the catalog and the mall, but 40% goes to ARPO in this case!

I got an email yesterday from FIDO. They're going to be selling Breck's flower bulbs. I asked for a catalog because I was planning on getting some bulbs to plant this fall anyway. 45% of sales go to FIDO!! (I don't have the catalog yet for this one.)

I really could care less whether you order from me or someone else, but if you're interested please get in touch with someone! I thought 40% and 45% were pretty good chunks for the groups involved.

I'm adding the link to the Yankee online catalog, just so people don't have to search through the comments to find it! I have to have the orders in on September 13th. Product will arrive sometime between November 3 - 17.

We are candle burning fiends here at my house. I usually only buy Yankee because they are the only ones I can smell throughout the house. I will definitely be ordering from ya! When do we have to order by?

Me too....I love Yankee Candles 'cause they're the best. I know I'll need some fairly soon too, so how do we do this?

Count me in! Home Sweet Home is one of my standard scents around here.

I'm always in need of Yankee candles! How do I order? I'd much rather part of the profit go to the animals.

I'm thinking about a way to do this easily. Perhaps I can scan the catalog into my computer and email it out. I'll see about that! I can get checks by mail for anyone who wants to order. Of course I have all the info at home, so I don't have the dates or anything. I should have been more prepared when I posted this! Sorry!! (I'm so blond!) :)
I also love Yankee candles and knew I could sell enough to myself to justify getting the catalog! :)

I'M actually going to try to get our 'flower beds' in order for next year, so if you get one of those catalogues, can you pdf it to me?

I ALWAYS ask for candles for Christmas and usually end up with at least 4 and I usually buy that many for gifts. I will talk to my family and friends and have them give me their orders too. I come from a BIG group of animal lovers and we would much rather our money go to helping them! This is a really cool fundraiser!

Those are amazing percentages! I can also give a big thumbs up for Breck's plants. They've always been perfect. Only one note. When you look at the Zones, never choose anything but 4 or less from them. None of the Zone 5 items survived here.

We LOVE Home Sweet Home, too! It's my ma's favorite so it reminds me of her. Ooooo and Midsummers Night, YUM!!

I may have to ask you some advice when I try to pick plants. We've got some shallow beds that border our fence in our teeny little porch/yard area and I want to plant some stuff, but don't know what to plant... they get LOTS of sun, so it'll have to be a tough sun loving plant!

Yankee candles make great Christmas gifts! I wouldn't mind getting some of my shopping done early. My fav is the cranberry chutney.

I would also like to get in on this, especially the Yankee Candle thing....maybe I could get some peeps around here to order too....ARPO is national, isn't it? (Having a gray...ah, errr...blond moment!) Or we could order thru you and have them sent down here in GA??? Help!!!

I grabbed the info! I have to turn the money and orders in on September 13th. The product will arrive sometime between November 3rd - 17th. You can view the catalog online at the link below.

If you want to order, PM me and we'll figure out the logistics.
Joann - I will talk with the person who is handling the sale and see if we can ship the product directly to you.

You guys let me know if the prices look higher to you. They looked about the same to me, but I'm not completely sure.
