In The News
2008 Phonathon The annual spring Phonathon was March 31st through April 2nd this year. LEEF board members and other volunteers called our friends and neighbors asking for donations to LEEF. This year volunteers collected $47,000 in contributions and pledges. All contributions to LEFF are tax deductible gifts that are used to enhance the educational experience of all Longmeadow students.
2007 LEEF Gala
The 2007 Gala was held at Longmeadow Country Club on November 17.
Again the event was great fun and a big win for Longmeadow students,
raising upwards of $60 thousand for enhanced education. Thanks to our
coordinators and volunteers, the many people and businesses who
contributed and to the attendees.
If you would like to volunteer or contribute something to the 2008 Gala,
please send an email to Gala co-chairs Judi Threlfall and Ann Burke
at gala@LongmeadowLeef.org.
2008 Longmeadow Resource Guide
Last year, LEEF introduced the
Longmeadow Resource Guide. Containing over sixty pages of important town
and school information, this guide was distributed to every house in
Longmeadow - over 5,000 households. Instrumental to the success of the
Resource Guide was the support of local businesses and community members
who made a financial commitment through ad placements.
Several enhancements have been made to this year's guide. They include:
* An Advertisers Index (which will make it easier for customers to locate
your ad and contact information).
* Updates and revisions to Town and School information (which keep the
Guide current and useful to our readers).
The Guide will be published again in the spring of 2009. If you missed
the opportunity to advertise this year, please see the following 2008
flyer and letter:

and
Letter for Prospective Advertisers.
PayPal LEEF can now accept donations via the online payment service PayPal®. PayPal accepts major credit cards, so you don't need a PayPal account. Please visit the Contribute Now page where you'll find a Make a Donation button that will take you to PayPal's secure site.
2006/2007 Fund Raisers
The 2006 Gala was held Saturday, November 18th, and again
the event was a big success on several levels. The food was excellent,
the musical entertainment was outstanding and a good time was had by all.
But the bottom line is the Gala raised (drum roll...) $50,000 for
Longmeadow schools!
The results are also in on the School & Town Resource Guide.
The Resource Guide raised $33,000 in just 10 weeks! Together our
fall fund raisers have contributed $83,000 toward programs that
make education in Longmeadow an extraordinary experience.
The spring Phonathon
brought in just under $60,000 in pledges - a record for LEEF.
The LEEF Board would like to thank our volunteers for their hard work in making the Gala, Resource Guide and Phonathon possible. And a very big thank you to the businesses and individuals who are embracing Longmeadow schools by participating in our fund raising events.
