"We asking each family to donate $50 to the Wellington -Learning Foundation," ex- pling parent council mem- er Lori Fowler in a recent interview. "Tt sounds like a lot but when you add up the money you'd spend in a year on the usual fundraisers -- the chocolate bars, cheese and wrapping paper -- it probably works out the same and if get enough money we can elimi- "nate all the little sales," Fowler said.

ACTON JIU-JITSU The Wellington Learning Foundation was set up by the two Wellington Boards of Education several years ago as anon-profit charitable or- ganization that could issue tax receipts for donations. The money can be spent within the schools -- at Cen- tennial they hope to purchase computer equipment and supplies and playground' equipment. "Rockwood is a small community with a small base and there are so many kids and sports groups going door-to-door selling things to raise money that we thought we'd try something differ- ent." The parent council has sent an information brochure to Rockwood and area busi- nesses asking for their dona- tions to the campaign that wraps up at the end of the month. [ROCKWOOD DIGEST Cons work Rockwood Guelph OPP warn Rockwood residents to be aware of two young con men who went door-to-door on Lou's Boulevard last Wednesday afternoon trying to collect donations for what turned out to be a non-exist- ent youth group.
