Flying Dragon Needs Your Support TODAY!!!

Why recreate the wheel?  Today's Strait Line is stolen from the Flying Dragon website, written by one of Flying Dragon's most generous and devoted supporter, Michelle Chancey.  It shows the many fundraisers that are going on now, and the many efforts underway to help support the theater.  This is a tough time, as show revenue is not sufficient to keep up with the basic costs of the theater.  We need your help and donations!  The need is not down the road - it is right now!  So please look at this list and see where you can contribute and help!

As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, Flying Dragon Arts Center relies on the generosity of others to keep our facility open. Please consider participating in one or more of the following fundraisers, and help our children reach their potential!

CURRENT FUNDRAISERS

• TOTE BAGS: We have FDAC tote bags for sale, for $5 each, in a variety of colors, while supplies last. Pick your favorite or buy one in each color.
• KRISPY KREME: We are now taking orders for Krispy Kreme doughnuts, at $7 per dozen. We will take orders until June 28th, and the doughnuts will be ready for pick-up by July 2nd.
• THE STRAIT LINE: Tom Strait, an FDAC volunteer and board member has been graciously donating 10% of the income that is generated from his blog, The Strait Line, to Flying Dragon, and has generously decided to increase his donation to 50% for the entire year.  
• CAR WASH: We have a car wash scheduled for next Saturday, June 29th, at Auto Zone, on Memorial Drive in Waycross. We will be there from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Donations only!
• BAGGING FOR TIPS: The older children of FDAC will be bagging groceries at Harvey's Supermarket, on Plant Avenue in Waycross, on Wednesday, July 3rd, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Come shop at Harvey's and tip your little baggers! 

FUTURE FUNDRAISERS:

• BBQ PLATES: RJ's Grill will be sponsoring our BBQ fundraiser for July. We will be selling BBQ plates ($10), Boston butts ($20), & slabs of ribs ($18). Orders will be taken from July 12th through July 21st & the BBQ will be ready for pick-up on July 27th. 
• RUBY TUESDAY GIVES BACK: Saturday, July 13th & Friday, August 9th - 11:00 AM to Midnight - We are once again teaming up with Ruby Tuesday, on Memorial Drive in Waycross. Enjoy a meal out, show our flyer when you pay, and Ruby Tuesday gives FDAC 20% of the proceeds. 
• PARENTS' NIGHT OUT: Saturday, July 13th  - Has it been awhile since you and your significant other have had a date night? Can you remember the last time you had a bubble bath, without little fists pounding on the bathroom door? Sounds like you are in need of a break! We are planning a parents' night out, where you can bring your children to FDAC, for an evening of fun & games, while you enjoy a well-deserved evening out (or in). More details coming soon. 
• SKATING PARTY: A roller skating party will be held, some time this summer, at King's Roller Rink in Waycross. A portion of the proceeds will be given to FDAC. More details coming soon.

Any ideas for future fundraisers will be greatly appreciated, as we will continue to need to raise money, so that we can continue to introduce the children of the community to the arts.

From Tom: 

Another way to give is to attend a show, and then give an extra donation.  Your donations are tax deductible.
