<strong>The</strong> Idea behind this bingo program is to raise<br />

funds for the athletic teams and the Creative Am<br />

Department a' <strong>Lowell</strong>. <strong>The</strong> money for these pro*<br />

grams. beyoLd thr allotted school budge;, previously<br />

came from candy sales or similar fundrablng pro-<br />

Jectt undertaken by individual teams or groups<br />

<strong>The</strong> main advantage of thlr program is obvious. It<br />

raises money more quickly. In larger amronts. and<br />

with less time contributed per dollar by students and<br />

coaches alike, than with the old fundraWng<br />

<strong>The</strong> amount o! time It takes for a team or group<br />

less than the lime il takes to order,<br />

M previously mentioned, the profits are greater.<br />

We. the staff of <strong>The</strong> Lomtt. support this effort to<br />

help <strong>Lowell</strong>'s athletic and Creative Arts Depart<br />
