Dear LCE Family,
The PTO would like to take this time to thank you for your past support as we have brought Eventbrite online. Eventbrite is our online ticketing choice we used for Mother/Son Bowling last year and then this year's Gatorfest.
We know changing how we do things can be problematic, especially where technology is concerned. We plan to continue using this service for Father/ Daughter Dance and Mother/ Son bowling. And we would like to tell you why...
In order to make these events happen, many things
have to be done
behind the scenes. Prior to using Eventbrite, we were busy making, copying, and distributing hardcopy fliers, collecting and collating your payments, developing the spreadsheet for these payments, printing the tickets, collating the tickets, putting them in the envelopes accurately, and labeling each envelope with child's name and teacher, distributing the tickets, etc. All of this takes much time and effort. Eventbrite alleviates much of this labor so that we can focus on the event itself, i.e. decorations, food, photography, etc.
Eventbrite also allows us to bring online the ability for you to use all possible means of payment, i.e. credit card, cash, or check.
When you use Eventbrite for cash or check, you still continue to buy your tickets, but you click on the "show other payment options"
link (shown in picture below)
. You will continue to buy the tickets, but will send in the cash or check
referencing
the Eventbrite ticket number you are provided at the end of the order.
We continue to use this site for all our events. The reason for this is so that we can plan accordingly for an accurate count of people for the event. We need to be able to tell our vendors so that they are able to supply the proper amount of their items (food, pictures, etc.) in order for you to seamlessly enjoy all aspects of the event.
Look for your Father / Daughter Dance Flyers when we return to school! The event is January 23rd.
We appreciate your time in reviewing this information and wish you safe and happy holidays.
