Fundraising Evenings

Learn all the tricks of the trade whilst earning funds for your organisation. The Christmas Heirloom Company holds fundraising evenings in its stores throughout the country for mid-winter Christmas and during the festive season.

The Christmas Heirloom Company offers community groups, schools, social clubs and organisations the opportunity to have a fun filled evening and raise funds at the same time.

• Raise money for your community group or organisation
• Have a fun night out
• Fuss-free and easy to organise!

Bring your group along to our store and discover all the tricks of the trade. The friendly staff at The Christmas Heirloom Company will show you how to:

• Get your lights on the tree without tangling them
• Create a wreath and centre piece
• Make fabulous bows. To name a few of the tricks!

So how do you raise money while having a fun night out? Your organisation charges a door fee of $10, which is yours to retain. This is of course only a recommended price; you may charge any amount you wish. You may prefer to invite a group to have a fun night out without selling tickets, the choice is yours.

You may like to provide light refreshments throughout the evening for your guests such as orange juice and Christmas cake. Following the demonstration The Christmas Heirloom Company extends a 10% discount to any purchases made on the evening.

Anyone can book a demonstration evening and at no charge to you it is a fun filled no-fuss way of fundraising.

Phone us to book or enquire about the availability of demonstration evenings in your area.

LIGHTING YOUR TREE


Tips for lighting your tree

• Always test your lights before putting them on the tree.

• The lights are always the first to be put onto the tree.

• Use plenty of lights. A six-foot tree can easily accommodate 500-600 lights.

• Plenty of lights make a real difference to the finished effect of your tree.

• Need more help? Come to one of our demonstration evenings or ask in-store about lighting your tree.

Candles

• Non-drip are the easiest to use, they burn from the inside which avoids lines of melted wax on your candle holder or cloth.

• Place the candles in the fridge the night before use (never the freezer) this way they burn for much longer.
