ENews November 2014!

Hello FVJN Friends!

With the winter holidays fast approaching, FVJN is hosting a Yankee Candle event, during which you can order candles, gift items for family and friends, and wrapping paper – yes, even Chanukah paper! We have sale packets you can pick up with catalogs and order forms (check or cash only), or you can place orders online.

To get a packet, email me: Rachely@fjvn.org and I’ll meet you at FVJN.

To order online, visit http://yankeecandlefundraising.com to pick your items and enter FVJN’s group number: 990072571. Feel free to share this website and our group number with friends and family!

The deadline for orders is Sunday, Nov. 16, at which time all sales kits/orders

must be returned to FVJN between 9 – 11:30 am. We’ll let you know when orders have arrived so you can pick them up and deliver to your recipients. All online orders will be shipped directly to the home of the person who places the order (nice benefit!).

FVJN will receive a percentage of each sale, and this fundraiser doesn’t cost us a penny! Please consider participating!

Thank you!

Rachel Yackley, Director
