Fall Festival Wish List

Dear Job Club Family,

Job Club and the Young Entrepreneurs are pleased to announce our first entrepreneurial project: Fall Festival! Fall Festival is the brainchild of your young entrepreneur, to be held Friday, October 24, 2008, from 5-7pm, at ACMS. This is an event planning business, where the Young Entrepreneurs will host an evening of fun, food and exciting contests for the entire ACMS family. Tickets are 10 for $5.00. There will be no admission fee to attend the Fall Festival, but all activities, food items and contests require tickets. Profits from Fall Festival will be divided equally amongst members of Job Club, with 25% of profits going to ACMS!
