| NCS Night at Hoss’s on Tuesday |
| 2/24/2010 |
Tuesday, March 2,
is our Spring NCS Community Night at Hoss's.
From 4:00 pm to closing, you can dine at Hoss's AND raise money for NCS.
Here's how it works:
Hoss's provides NCS with tickets or you can print out
this document instead of a ticket.
You will bring your ticket when you come in to dine at Hoss's Tuesday, March 2.
Cashiers will collect the tickets along with your guest check and then total all of the checks collected.
Hoss's will then send NCS a check for 20% of the total amount of guest checks collected and used with a fundraiser ticket.
If sales are $1200 or more, Hoss's will now send an additional 5%!
Best of all:
You sell nothing!
One ticket is good for the entire party.
Gift card sales count too! If you purchase a gift card from the school before the
Community Night and use it to pay for your meal, NCS will receive an additional 10%!
What an easy way to help NCS financially and enjoy good food and great Christian
fellowship at the same time.
Consider giving them to friends, neighbors, family, church groups, co-workers, or others you think would help out.
The tickets are FREE and can be picked up in the school office.

| Gideon Group |
| 2/15/2010 |
Since Northumberland Christian School first opened its doors in 1972, we have faced the annual challenge of making up the difference between tuition revenues and education costs. While the percentage of education costs covered by tuition has remained steady, at around 80%, the actual dollar amount has increased substantially over the years. This fiscal year (7/1/2009-6/30/2010) we face a $200,000 deficit, of which, through the faithful support of God’s people, we have made up $116,245. This means that we need to cover the remaining $83,755 by the end of June.
To address this annual deficit, The Gideon Group was officially introduced to the NCS “family” in February of 2008. The Gideon Group comprises individuals who support the ministry of NCS, recognize the insufficiency of tuition revenues in meeting education costs, and demonstrate their passion to overcome this deficit by their annual financial commitment. These individuals commit to contributing a minimum of $300 annually, which may be given in as little as $25 monthly increments.
We are excited to announce a new subset to The Gideon Group: The Student Gideon Group. This group is designed as a means for students (high school and college) who desire to use a portion of the resources the Lord has entrusted to them to support the ministry of NCS. The giving requirements have been substantially lowered to make membership feasible for students. The minimum commitment for membership is $60 annually, which may be given in as little as $5 monthly increments.
If you are not already a part of The Gideon Group, please prayerfully consider how you may be able to partner with us in bridging the annual gap between tuition revenue and education costs.
