Current and Upcoming Fundraisers ~ October 10th

The Kilties are going to San Antonio later this school year to participate in an annual festival and it’s parade. The cost per girl is $500 and to raise this money the Kilties and their parents have already had several fundraisers. Below is a list of current fundraisers and upcoming ones as well. As always, donations are always accepted. You can print out the Kiltie Donation Form and designate how you want your donation used. For example, if you have a specific Kiltie you want to donate to or if you prefer your donation to be applied to corps needs, such as uniforms or bus fees for upcoming parades just write it on the form.

• Central Kilties Great American Opportunities Fundraiser ~ Now thru Oct 22nd ~ The Kilties are also selling items online through Great American Opportunities. This is the same company they are selling the cookie dough through. You can not purchase the cookie dough online but you can buy other food items, magazines and gifts.  You can shop online by going to the link below and entering the name of the Kiltie you wish to help. If you do not know a current Kiltie you can enter the Kiltie Sponsor’s name – Jessica Freeman and she will disperse the money raised within the corps. http://www.gaschoolstore.com/Login/StudentInfo
• *UPDATED* Qdoba Fundraiser ~ October 22nd at the Qdoba on East Sunshine from 5-8pm. No flyer needed. Just put your receipt in the fishbowl by the register and the Kilties will get 10% of the total sales entered in the fishbowl during that time.
• Kiltie Drum & Bugle Corps Cici’s Pizza Fundraiser, November 12th, 5-9pm. The Kilties will get 15% of sales. You must turn in a flyer with your purchase or your meal will not count towards the Kilties. The girls are not allowed to pass out flyers anywhere on the Cici’s property or in the parking lot. That means you will need to print out the flyer or get one from a Kiltie, Kiltie Parent or the Kiltie Sponsor.
• Parent Club Bake Sale at West Bypass Price Cutter ~ November 17th, 5pm-8pm. If you haven’t bought anything from a Parent Club bake sale yet, you must stop by this one. They have some of the absolute best baked goods.
• Thirty-One Fundraiser ~ Sometime in November. From totes or purses you can wear while you’re out and about, thermals to help you transport food and drinks to a party, or organizational items to help you keep your house neat and tidy, Thirty-One has a solution! More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Upcoming Fundraisers ~ September 17th & 19th

The Kilties will be doing two restaurant fundraisers this week:

1. On Monday September 17th from 5-9pm is the Kiltie Drum and Bugle Corps Fundraiser at McAlister’s Deli – North Kansas Expressway Location {click on the link to be redirected to the printable pdf flyer}.
2. All day on Wednesday September 19th is the Kiltie Drum and Bugle Corps Fundraiser at Zio’s Italian Kitchen. The Kilties will get 10% from your purchase {click on the link to be redirected to the printable pdf flyer}.

You must have a flyer with you when you go to either restaurant in order for your purchase to apply to the fundraiser. I don’t think you have to have the flyer with you at McAlister’s, but just to be on the safe side you can get printable copies of both flyers by clicking on the links above.

Making a donation to the Kilties

Every year or so, the Kilties have repairs to instruments that need to be made as well as the occasional uniform repair or replacement. This year is no exception. Currently, the Kilties need the following instrument repairs and uniform pieces (prices listed are estimates based on last year’s costs):

• 15 new drum heads ($25.00 x 15 = $375.00)

• 5 new pairs of tenor sticks ($45.00 x 5 = $225.00)

• 20 new hat pins ($10.00 x 20 = $200.00)

You can print out a copy of the Kiltie Donation Form if you would like to make a donation to the Kilties.

If you can’t make a monetary donation, but would still like to help the corps then here’s your chance. The Kiltie Sponsor is looking for four or five alumni with sewing machines to help sew lace onto garters at the garter party next month. There are about sixteen garters that need lace sewn on.

 

In Memory – Rita (Bear) Campbell Hooker

Rita Yvonne Bear Campbell Hooker, daughter of Fritz E. and Bertha M. Stephens Bear, was born March 5, 1932, in Marshfield, Missouri. She departed this life Saturday, May 5, 2012, in James River Care and Rehabilitation Center, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of eighty years, and two months.
On September 22, 1951, she was united in marriage to James Glenn Campbell, and to this union five sons were born. James passed away on August 13, 1978.

On October 22, 1988, Rita married Harrison Dale Hooker, and they shared twenty years before his passing on April 3, 2009.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; a son, Gary Gene Campbell; a stepson, H. Dale Hooker, Jr.; a brother, Fritz Bear, Jr.; a half brother, Richard Bear; and a sister, Coleen Bear.

Rita is survived by four sons, Mark Campbell, of Lebanon, Missouri, Jim Campbell, and his wife, LaDonna, of Raytown, Missouri, Scott Campbell, of Blue Springs, Missouri, and Gregg Campbell, and his wife, Katie, of Indianapolis, Indiana; a stepdaughter, Anne Williamson, of Dallas, Texas; ten grandchildren, Corey, Collin, Jennifer, Susan, Matthew, Beau, Ebby, Bailey, Madison, and Nick; two step-grandchildren, Brooke and Brian; six great-grandchildren, Julia, J.C. Jetta, Molly, Austin, and Brody; four step-great-grandchildren, Ethan, Sophia, Mason, and Madison; four sisters, Veda Rowe, of Springfield, Missouri, Kathleen Pettit, of Crocker, Missouri, Anita Creviston, of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Betty Gates, of Springfield, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and many friends.

She was born and raised in Southwest Missouri, around the Springfield and Webster County areas. She graduated from Springfield High School where she was a member of the Kilties. She continued to live in Springfield until she and James were married, following him to San Diego, California while he served in the military. After he was honorably discharged from the service, they returned to the Midwest and made their home in Lebanon in 1964, where they lovingly finished raising their sons. In addition to being a devoted homemaker to her husband and family, Rita worked at Appling Grocery Store, Wal Mart, and Burley’s Department Store for several years. Later, she was employed as a teller at Central Bank in downtown Lebanon for a number of years. After she and Dale were married, they made their home in Lebanon until moving to Springfield about five years ago, where Rita continued to live after Dale’s passing.

Rita made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a member of First Congregational Church in Lebanon. She was baptized in 1978, and was an active member of First Baptist Church in Lebanon for many years. Later, she became a member of First United Methodist Church.
She belonged to the Seeders Garden Club and enjoyed growing beautiful flowers in her garden. She was a very gracious hostess and liked entertaining people in her home. She enjoyed writing letters to her family and friends, and liked listening to music and traveling. She was always very involved in community activities and was supportive of her sons’ extra-curricular activities. She put her family in the center of her life and especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Rita was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will fondly remember her delightful laugh and beautiful smile.
