Welcome to the Delavan Christian School Guild!

The Delavan Christian School Guild has been an ongoing fundraising committee for over 25 years. I began as different groups called circles that met at the homes of people who had students in the school. Over time, the circles formed one group now known as the Guild.

The Delavan Christian School Guild is made up of individuals who are interested in and supportive of Christian education. Guild members may include Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents, Relatives, Alumni, and Friends of DCS.

The Guild raises funds which directly and indirectly support Delavan Christian School. These funds help defray the cost of tuition, sponsor scholarships, allow the teachers to purchase little extras for their classrooms, and allow the students to attend cultural events.

This is all possible due to the committement of the Guild members, Officers, and various fundraiser chairs. To these people, go a great deal of thanks.

How Do You Raise The Funds Necessary?
The Guild sponsors many fundraisers throughout the school year. These fundraisers are:

The Annual Auction? held the last weekend of October. This is our biggest, most intense, and most fun fundraiser of the year.

Magazine Sales ? held for several weeks in the Fall of the year. This is a great opportunity for anyone to subscribe to new magazines, and renew their favorites.

Poinsettia Sale ? held in the late Fall. A beautiful selection of poinsettia plants is available for Christmas decorating and gift-giving.

Kringle Sale ? held just before Easter. This is a new fundraiser, but is very popular. A large assortment of yummy kringle from Racine Kringle is available for sale.

T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) ? held every other week throughout the school year. Purchase scrip (gift cards) from many of your favorite businesses. They make great gifts.

Market Days ? held each month throughout the school year. You can purchase delicious, restaurant quality food while giving the school 10% of the purchase price.

We have many smaller fundraisers such as Campbell?s Labels, Pick N Save, Schmalings receipts, as well as Mints, Knives, and Cookbooks, but those listed above are our major sources of income.


It Seems like participating In the Guild requires a lot of time, is there a large time commitment?
Actually, it doesn't. The Guild meets 4 times a year: the second Tuesday of August, November, January, and May. Extra meetings may be called if the need arises.

How Is The Guild Governed?
Four officers are elected from the Guild membership, which consists of Parents, Grandparents, Relatives, and Friends of DCS. These four offices in the Guild are President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
