I sent one letter at then end of the school year and another at the beginning of the year. I have not call them. My husband teaches at one of the school I sent it to, so, I know it was approved as a fundraiser if any of the organizations want to do it, but none of the organizations have contacted me. I have been trying to decide if I should send another follow up letter since they have not actually contacted me.
