Third of pledged payments is $3508

This amount must be reached by Nov. 9, 2011 to continue with the field trip.

Checks are payable to “Rio Vista Elementary School” Please write “5th Grade Field Trip” in note area.

It is the intent of the Catalina Fundraising Committee to close the gap of $7586.

Per LAUSD regulations requiring donations.... once funds are put into donations account,
Rio Vista will not be able to refund your payment. If we do not reach our financial goal ($18, 110) by Feb 28, 2011,
funds will be reassessed and a new day trip plan will be made for 5th Graders.

$7586 is a lot of money to raise, but if each family (out of 70 budgeted for this trip) were to ask
10 people to donate $10 to this cause, we would raise $7000.

That's before we go to business and corporations to ask for donations.

$7586 is possible to raise with your help and support.

Rio Vista Elemenatry School
