Lincoln Middle Schoo PTSO Presents: The Cow Drop
On November 21, 2009, Lincoln Middle School’s PTSO,
students and parents will conduct the fundraising activity of the year. The Cow Drop!
The Cause
The back lot of ECHS will be the site of what promises to become the entertainment event of the year with a goal of
helping to promote and finance educational activities for students at Lincoln Middle School.
THE SCHOOL COULD EARN $20,000 TO SUPPORT STUDENTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.
A lucky winner could earn $2500!*
The Event
The athletic field will be divided into equal squares and each of those squares will be sold for $5.00. On the morning of the 21st a drawing will determine the location of each ticket’s square. At 9 am, Bessie the Cow will enter the stadium grounds. Free to roam the area, we will await anxiously for Bessie to drop her paddy.
The Reward
The owner of the square in which Bessie first does her duty will receive a check for $2,500 (or 10% of total ticket sales) for their support of Lincoln Middle School PTSO. The second dropping will receive a check for $1,750 and the 3rd, $750.00 (7% and 3% respectively).
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Support this worthy effort to broaden the horizons of our students. Contribute to the fundraising efforts of your community and experience the satisfaction of helping our young people. Who Knows! Your reward may be much more!!
*Reward checks are based on sales of 5000 squares. Payments represent 20% of total sales. In the event sales do not reach 5000 squares, payments will be adjusted accordingly. For more information on how you can help the Lincoln Middle School PTSO, contact Patrick Cornforth @ 760.917.1258.
Friends of FireMountain Art Show-Sale Raises Over $500 for SNAP!
Thanks to all the artists, volunteers, and patrons who attended the 2009 Friends of FireMountain Art Show and Sale this past weekend.
With some amazing art, jewelry, scarves, and other crafty items on hand, the dollars raised for the Spay and Neuter Action Program (SNAP) totalled over $500.
SNAP is San Diego’s Spay/Neuter Action Project, providing low cost spay/neuter clinics and animal welfare education to the underserved multicultural, low-income communities of the county. (We are at Joe Balderama Park in Eastside, Oceanside, twice a month.) SNAP’s goal is to reduce the number of homeless animals who end up in shelters.
If you missed your chance to help out, the Greener Christmas Store will be on site at the Seaside Bazaar in Encinitas on November 21st. The Greener Christmas Store is the brainchild of local artist Kris Nelson and utilizes recycled materials to create holiday ornaments, decorations, and some wonderful holiday gifts- and all of the proceeds benefit SNAP.

Friends of Fire Mountain Night Out – August 4th
August 4 is the 26th annual National Night Out. This program is intended to pair neighborhoods with the local constables so everyone can get to know one another and help reduce crime. We are very fortunate to have such a low crime rate in our neighborhood 
So, rather than having an evening with the police, let’s have an evening with each other! Please come join your neighbors in the cul-de-sac at the northern corner of Avocado and Dunstan on August 4th from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. It will be very informal, and a great opportunity to meet those new neighbors or bond with old ones. Name tags will be provided. Here are some suggestions:
• Bring the kids
• Bring some snacks to share
• Bring a folding chair or a beach chair to sit a spell
• Leave your porch light on
• Share this invitation with your neighbors.
We’ll have a few tables to put food on. We’ll also have a collection for the food bank, so bring a can or box of food if you would like to donate.
We hope you can make this casual, impromptu event. See you there!
Lincoln Middle School Makeover
In case you were wondering what all the rukus is about over on California – here’s a link to the story in the Union Tribune. We agree
It’s a pretty location, but it’s a tired-looking campus. After nearly half a century, the place is overdue for a makeover.
According to the report the school is getting a $24 Million dollar renovation.
