Lucky Day Tricky Tray
Dear Parents and Friends,
Mount Saint Dominic Academy’s Annual Tricky Tray will be held on Thursday, March 16,
2017 at the Valley Regency in Clifton, New Jersey. Invitations will be sent in the mail shortly
and will also be available on the MSDA portal and website.
Each family is encouraged to donate an unwrapped gift item/basket valued at $75 or more.
However, if need be, we will combine smaller donations to make “bigger” baskets. A “Wish
List” of gifts that have been well received in previous years is attached and can also be found
on the PlusPortal. This year we are offering an Online Registry for your convenience. With a
few clicks of the mouse, you can purchase one or more gift items from the registry and have
the gift(s) shipped directly to the Mount. How great is that?
A few options for basket donations:
• Purchase a single gift or a basket of merchandise. We will wrap the basket for you. Feel
free to select one mentioned on the wish list, the online registry, or create one of your own.
• Donate a gift certificate to your favorite store or restaurant (pair it with a bottle of wine for
BYOB venues!)
• Send in a monetary donation and we will shop for you!
• “Super” and “Grand” gift/basket valued at $250 or more are especially welcome.
Several Mount families can combine their donations to provide one of those extra-special
prizes. In addition, for this prize category, we will gladly accept transferrable airline miles,
hotel accommodation or time-share vacations.
Please return your donations along with the Gift Response Form to the Admissions Office
before March 1, 2017. Please indicate on the form if you would like to receive a receipt for
tax purposes.
Thank you in advance for your participation in making the Mount’s biggest fundraiser a
success!
Sincerely,
The Tricky Tray Committee
