Okay, I just booked my first fund raiser. Gotta call my director too, but where do I go from here?
My niece is doing it as she's been on a campaign to raise funds for Leukemia Society, to go along with her triathalon training and race in June.
We're both really excited.

I've got her working on her guest list now. Told her it's not just a girl thing. Is the flyer that Pampered Chef has the best thing to use for the invites?

The cool thing is that she is half way to her comittment and in February she has to make the comittment and it has to be raised. So this will hopefully get her to her goal! She was really excited as she hadn't thought about going about it this way. I hadn't either until the light came on in my brain on Tuesday night.

Whoo hoooo.
Oh it's on Feb. 16, so we don't have much time.

I would create your own flyer to make it personal and that way everyone knows what the proceeds are going towards.
 
: Congrats on booking your first fund raiser! That's awesome. As for where to go from here, I would suggest reaching out to your director for guidance and advice. They will have valuable insight and resources to help make the event a success. As for the invites, the Pampered Chef flyer is a great option, but you could also consider creating your own personalized invites to make it more personal and unique. Good luck with everything and keep us updated on your progress!
