Bonduel Community Archives-- We have a Pie & Ice cream social each summer.
The Village of Bonduel really supports us well. All pies are donated by
members.
We usually make over $1000. Then we get matching funds from Walmart, and
Thrivent. WE have music in the bandstand and our annual meeting at that
time. We have another fund raiser a cemetery walk, and founders day, and a
bake sale in December. The pie social is the best money maker but the bake
sale and cemetery walk are both good too. We were very fortunate to have
our building donated in 1991,when we started. Our hours open are Wednesday
and Saturday 9-4.

A couple of questions to all Societies.
1) How did you get your buildings? Through donation from private
individual, town owns, you bought yourself...
2) What is your best money maker regarding fund development?
Public/Private donations, events, raffles...
TIA!
