MOPS Fall Fundraisers

Our MOPS group has some fantastic fall fundraisers this year! Like we mentioned in our last meeting, fundraising money goes directly to support our MOPS group, allowing us to continue to have fantastic childcare for our little ones, supplies (like crafts and paper goods), excellent speakers, and any other expenses we come across throughout the year. So here is our line up of fundraisers:

Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Order forms for the Texas Roadhouse Rolls were passed out at our last meeting (ask for one at our October 14 meeting if you missed it!), and you can gather orders until October 28, when you'll need to bring back your order forms. The rolls are just $5 per dozen and $3 of each dozen sold goes directly to our MOPS group! Of course, the famous cinnamon honey butter comes with your rolls! The rolls will come fresh, but you can easily freeze them until you are ready to bake. The rolls will be at our November 9 meeting so that you can distribute them in time for the holidays.

Fall Photos
Kendra Lanterman will be out photographer for all three days October 17, 18, & 19th!  Sign ups will be at our next meeting on October 14th. The cost is $50 and you can pay by cash, check, or credit card when you reserve your slot at our meeting.  Each session is 30 minutes and Kendra will shoot several photos in several different poses and backgrounds.  Each family will get 5 digital photos included with their $50 and then will be able to buy more from Kendra directly for $10 each.  

We will have 2 different locations:  Friday the 17th & Saturday the 18th will be at a new location in downtown Golden near 10th and Washington near Clear Creek.  There is a bridge, barn, and trees for different beautiful shots. Here are a few examples (not taken by Kendra) of this location:





Sunday the 19th will be near Excel Academy in Arvada, meeting at a pull-off area off Simms & 83rd Lane. There are lots of beautiful trees for background there. Here are some examples from from last year at this location:





October Blast
Foothills Community Church, where we meet for MOPS, puts on a fantastic October Blast party each year for Halloween. Our MOPS group sets up a bake sale at the event to fundraise. First and foremost, we need your delicious baked goods for the sale! We will be taking baked goods donations at our meeting on October 28. We also need mamas to volunteer their time to help package the treats on Wednesday, October 29, and to help at the event on Friday, October 31.


This is just an overview of all our fantastic fall fundraisers! Find out more info at our October MOPS meetings or by contacting your Discussion Group Leader.
