Mayfair

Mayfair 2008: Ohana Luau

Ohana means "family" in Hawaiian. This year's Mayfair is a Hawaiian Luau complete with ukele music, loud shirts, leis, a taste of the tropics, and tropical themed games.

Mayfair Needs You!

Get in on the ground floor of Jefferson's biggest community event. We are short-staffed for this year's Mayfair.

If you would like to support Mayfair or if you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Kira Reoutt at .

Mayfair Carnival Prize Drive

In an effort to reduce costs, and maybe even to reduce the carbon footprint of Mayfair, we are collecting trinkets and party favor items as prizes for the "every one wins" games.

What are we looking for?

Only small, typical party favor items that are in mint condition, e.g. little containers of bubbles that have never been open, decorative pens and pencils that have not been used, super balls, little yo-yos, bracelets, rings, little animal figurines, stickers, tatoos, you name it. As long as it is not used, broken, or potentially dangerous. Basically, if you would not want your child to be given the item, please don't donate it.

Where to Donate

In the main office is a box labeled "Mayfair Carnival Prize Drive." Please put your donations in the bucket. And you're done—we'll handle the rest.

Mayfair 2008 Cake Decorating Category is:

• A Taste of the Tropics

Raffle Ticket Sales

The raffle is responsible for bringing in 80% of the Mayfair proceeds, with 100 % of the money going directly to Jefferson. Raffle tickets are given to every child and should make it home in their backpacks. We hope every family will take part in selling them. There are fabulous prizes, so it’s an easy sell! As always, students earn Jefferson bucks by selling raffle tickets. Jefferson bucks are good for free games at the Mayfair carnival.

The Grand Prize

This year's grand prize will be a Nintendo Wii!

What About The Quilt?

The quilt will be auctioned separately at Mayfair.

Plant Sale

Antoher great part of Mayfair is the beautiful potted plants created by parents at Jefferson.
