Attn:  Fundraising Leader

Good Day:

A new decade – and a refreshing product!

Please consider my “Tiny Ticklers” Fun Fundraising Plan for any upcoming need, large or small.

I have enclosed a copy of the brochure a child would give to prospective buyer(s) – it gets torn in half to become a receipt and an order form.

I’ve also enclosed a sample ring of the Ticklers, and a copy of the proposed agreement.

I’ve been a publisher of wholesome reading materials since 2008. Please go online for more information about me and my publishing company, at www.davis-publishing.biz, or call me at (707) 664-8656.

This Plan is so local and simple it can be used for an individual group/room’s year-end party or an organization-wide effort.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Diane H. Davis

Tiny Ticklers – for Enjoyment and Sharing!

What is a Tiny Tickler?

    Tiny Ticklers are 8-page booklets  (4 ¼ x 2 ¾ inches in size)

    of original, inspiring stories or poems that will bring a smile

    to your face for sure! They are fun and rewarding.

What can you do with a Tickler?

1.     Enclose one in a card or gift.

2.     Put one in someone’s lunch or on a pillow.

3.     Let your child read one to you, or to grandma or grandpa.

4.     Inspire your child to write a poem or a short story.

5.     Read them, enjoy them, pass them on – or collect them.

Prices:  $2 each, 6 for $10, all(or any) 13 for $20

(  ) The Stray - What’s a good name for a cat that shows up and hijacks food and affection?

(  ) A Walk Through the Seasons - Remember last summer? Time flies, and spring will be here soon.

(  ) Happiness on a Shoestring - Life’s wisdom softly lights the life of a single mother and her child.

Post Script from the publisher:

Hi everyone!
   I stand behind any products and my "plan" - life should make you smile. I'm open to doing (class) room presentations (and readings) to help inspire the young people, and I will develop prizes if you believe that helps.

Sincerely,

Diane
