Flyers will go out on the 25th.  Orders are due on the 5th.  
Robin will need help the 3,4,5, taking orders at the school – look for times in an email / facebook as it gets closer.  She’ll also need volunteers to put together orders – we’ll send a facebook request for parent volunteers.

They’ll make a valentine box for the kids to drop orders in.  And have a “Kissing booth” to take orders (kids receive a chocolate kiss).
