Gift Basket Drawing To Benefit McClure Middle School Library

All donations (minus PayPal fee) go to Queen Anne Books for a gift certificate to McClure Middle School's librarian, Ms. Chambers. Last year we raised over $500.00 for the McClure Music Program! Our goal is to beat that this year.

Suggested donation for tickets to the chance drawing: $3.00 for 1 ticket, $5.00 for 2 tickets, $10.00 for 5 tickets, $20.00 for 12 tickets.

Great news! Due to the generosity of our vendors, we have two baskets this year which means you have twice the chance of winning. First ticket drawn gets to choose first from the two baskets.

2014 Gift Basket Drawing to benefit McClure Middle School Library

Last year we raised over $500.00 for the McClure Middle School Music Program-yeah! This year's donations will go to a gift certificate for Queen Anne Books to be given to the McClure Middle School Librarian, Ms. Chambers. Queen Anne Books gives her a discount on books so the money we raise this year will go even farther and support our local independent book store-yeah!

McClure has 540 students and the library has an extremely limited budget. Your donations will be greatly appreciated by the staff and students at the school.

Stay tuned for gift basket photo and online ticket information.
