Carlos O'Kelly's and Applebees Fundraiser

Weber has been given the incredible opportunity for families to purchase these Carlos O'Kelly's/Applebees "We Believe In Kids" coupons for $10.

They are sold in sheets, with seven coupons for each restaurant. Using only one of these coupons more than pays for the entire sheet! They are a great way to stretch your family dining dollar. Buy a couple for your family and they are great to give as gifts, too!

The best part is, 100% of the sale goes directly to Weber!
We have a limited number to sell, and they will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Contact the Weber office to purchase the coupons.

Service Project: Soles4Souls

Tonya Nicholson was a Weber graduate back in 2004, who loved shoes, children, and the country of Haiti! Tonya passed away in 2007, but her memory lives on and shoes are collected every year by St. Andrew Presbyterian Church. We are expanding our collection this year due to the massive need in this devastated country. A Soles4Souls collection box will be outside of the Weber offices from Monday, March 29th through Friday, April 16th (the Weber Carnival!). Please consider donating your gently worn or new kids' or adults' shoes (tied or rubber banded together). Samantha, Garth, and Kathi Anderson (mainekids@mchsi.com) will make sure they get to Haiti! THANKS SO MUCH in advance to our generous, caring, Weber community!

Spring Carnival

Mark your calendars for our annual Weber Carnival! It will be held on Friday, April 16! More information will be coming soon in the Dolphin 411.
