			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Fellow BVUSD Community Members,</p>
<p>The board members and volunteers of the Bennett Valley Education Foundation would like to welcome you (and your children) back to the school year.  We hope everyone&#8217;s summer was fantastic! </p>
<p>Last year was another great year for the children in our district.   Despite increasing budgetary constraints, with the aid of so many generous community members, staff, and administrators we were still able to sustain and further develop our arts program.   Our children are truly fortunate to be able to have access to these programs and benefit from what has consistently been shown to be an integral part of a full education and a key to future academic success.</p>
<p>This year, BVEF intends to focus (mainly) on gaining greater participation from district parents for our Family Contribution Campaign which is the key for full funding (Please see the sidebar for the link to PayPal for an easy and quick donation).  Of course, we will still be coordinating special fundraising efforts such as the popular Family Tile Nights and the Valley of the Arts for Spring, 2011, which has become a real event in the community.</p>
<p>We thank you in advance for your support for the organization (and for ALL of our kids) this year, which we hope to be the best yet!</p>
<p>Thank you,<br />
BVEF Board and Volunteers</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Family Contribution Campaign is the main fundraising campaign for the BVEF and is vital to the ongoing funding of the suite of programs that BVEF underwrites.  BVEF asks that you please support arts funding at the level of $125 per child you have in the district.  We of course will take any donated amount (or offerings of help with activities) but want you to know: a) every child benefits from your generosity and b) that there is great value delivered at this cost in terms of the variety and richness of the programs offered.</p>
<p>Last year, we introduced the means to donate (easily) through use of PayPal and many find this to be a convenient (and secure) means of donating:</p>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="9502143">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"></p>
</form>
<p>* <strong>Please Note:</strong> A PayPal account is NOT necessary in order to donate to BVEF.  Credit Card options are available and you need only look for the &#8220;continue&#8221; button on the left hand side of the page above the credit card logos (you may need to scroll down to see this link).</p>
<p>Again, thank you!</p>
