For many years, we have held a Spring Flower & Basket Sale in April. It is an environmentally positive way to raise money and support our local businesses. We would purchase the plants and flowers directly from a small local florist and then take orders from friends, family and, of course, some for ourselves. When the big day arrived, we would distribute the flowers to all who placed orders. It was a very beautiful sight to see so many flowers.
Since the COVID pandemic we've avoided large groups, so we work with 1 or 2 local florists to offer gift cards for you to purchase. With these gift cards you can go to the florist whenever you'd like and pick out exactly what plants and flowers you like. A portion of the cost of the gift cards comes back to Chapter LR which we then use to donate to our P.E.O. projects and our chapter expenses.
Our order form is below:
April 2019 Plant and Flower Sale
Below- Further back- we're not sayin' when!
In May, 2008, we began raising money for our HOPE Scholarship by using a “Scrip” program that meets the requirements of our organization. This program allows any non-profit organization members to purchase scrip for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment while earning a percentage of each dollar of scrip purchased back in revenue. Scrip is "no-selling" fundraising.
Below are 2 forms. The form on the left is a current order sheet. The form on the right is a list of all current participating retailers in the GLSC/Shop with Scrips program. If you can't download the Scrips Order Form, here's a link: drive.google.com/file/d/1JhHa-S06YVqdFsXGLrNk5wf4s0K6sw3s/view?usp=sharing
Our chapter has received approval from both P.E.O. International and the Missouri State Chapter of P.E.O. to sell window clings as a fundraiser. "Window clings" stick to glass without adhesive by using static electricity. Because there is no adhesive you can remove it and place it elsewhere with the same "stick", but no mess. This design was created by two of our own very talented sisters! Each cling is 4 inches x 5 inches. The cost is $4.00 each. If you would like to purchase one or more of these clings, please send me an email at pblair4546@gmail.com.
Another fundraiser Chapter LR is excited about is our foldable fans!

Both the Window Clings and the Foldable Fans have been approved by P.E.O. Missouri State Chapter with the following statement.
“P.E.O. chapters support the educational and charitable funds of the P.E.O. Sisterhood but are not classified as charitable by the IRS. Therefore, donations to individual chapters do not meet the IRS requirements for a charitable income tax deduction. P.E.O. shall not be liable in any way for any goods and services supplied by third-party vendors or public establishments.”
