Details for Hosting a Fundraiser

In each class we will teach you how to transform a new board into a barn board look using our Homestead and Fusion Paint Lines. All paints are Zero VOC no solvents or smells and easy clean up. Our paints are safe to be used by children and pregnant mothers. We will then demonstrate how to stencil a quote or saying of choice.

We will supply all paints and boards needed for each project. We will require each participant to choose a project ahead of time so we can bring the required boards/clocks however colour choices can be made at the workshop. We will bring a wide variety of colours from both paint lines. All boards are pre stained.

Clubs, Organizations and Hostesses must supply the venue or ask if Whispy Willow Tacks classroom in McLean is available for your class( our store can only accomodate 25 people). You are responsible for tables, table coverings and chairs. We will arrive 45 minutes to an hour prior for set up and we need access to running water or pails of water for clean up. Pack up can take 30 to 45 minutes so please allow extra time when booking facilities. Help is always appreciated. We also have access to a few venues free for use if in vicinity of Emerald Park , Balgonie or Regina please inquiry.

We will require minimum 12 people within 30 minutes from McLean, 15 to 18 people to travel a one hour distance . 20 to 30 people for anything over one hour distance or more. To be discussed once we determine the location. For long distance travel over 3 hours we require a minimum of 30 people, if numbers are not met we will have the right to cancel the event or we will discuss options with the event organizer. To secure the date you must put a deposit down of $50 that is non refundable. If you do not meet the minimum amounts and we still have the class the $50 dollar deposit is retained by Whispy Willow and not used as payment for the class host. If you do meet the minimum amount the $50 is given back to the event cause. You also receive $15 per person back from each project for the cause. Maximum attendees 50 in a class. Participants will be given back their money if the class is cancelled due to minimums not attained. or bad weather. Cancellations are not accepted due to cutting of the stencil if you cannot attend a DIY kit will be provided. If minimum amounts are not acquired for a class it is up to the discretion of Whispy Willow to go ahead and proceed with the class, however the donation given back to the club will be half of the original amount $15 will be $7.50 per person. This to be discussed with the organizers before cancelling if we decide to proceed with your event. Cut off times for registrations will be 6 or 7 days prior depending on distance of the class and size of class. Payments for attendees will be a $15 dollar deposit once they register via e transfer, visa or master card. To keep the class registration flow fast and easy the day of the class the remaining portion of the participants registration fees are due and payable with cash.

The $15 fundraising portion is included in our prices so there are no added fees when choosing a project on the website. We offer custom quotes for an additional $5 to $10 for design fee. This is built into the website so that customers are able to choose the custom drop down and the price reflects the additional fee. Quotes and sayings are endless we can almost create any request.

We have to date completed over 100 classes in Saskatchewan and given back over 40,000 dollars in fundraising dollars to organizations and clubs. We pride ourselves on helping rural communities raise money and love giving back to the causes. We have recently hired the Wor-Kin Shop in Weyburn whom provide employment to people with intellectual disabilities to construct some of our materials.
