SUMMARY:DAC Christmas Cares 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the staff at the DAC try to give back to their community by supporting a couple of local families who are currently experiencing economic hardship for one reason or another. We here at the DAC would love to see all children have a Merry Christmas and want to help out in a way that we are able to.  \nHow it works:  \nEvery Friday at the DAC is Casual Friday for our staff. This means our staff are allowed to wear work-appropriate shirts with writing\, a hat\, or sweatpants. Each staff contributes $1+ on each Friday they decide to participate. All of the funds are collected throughout the year and put together to help support children in our community who\, without help\, may not get to have the Christmas every child deserves. \nIn the past we have supported an entire Christmas for 2+ (our highest was 6) families but the need is always so much more. For this reason\, we are going to be limiting the gifts to one or two per child so we are able to help out more families and this way we can ensure more children at least get something to open on Christmas morning. If you feel there is a child or children you know who could benefit from our program\, please fill out the form below. Please know that we will be unable to help every family that is nominated\, but we do our best. \nNomination deadline is Monday\, December 11th at 8am. Chosen families will be called on Monday\, December 18th for notification that they have been chosen for this year’s DAC Christmas Cares. Gifts will be available for pick-up from the DAC between December 20 and 22\, just before the holiday from 7:30am-4:00pm. At this time\, we are unable to deliver gifts. \n  \nNominations for the 2023 Winona DAC Christmas Cares has closed.

SUMMARY:4th Annual Mini Photo Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Winona County DAC is once again teaming with Those Gals Photography for our 4th Annual Fundraiser Photo Event. Those Gals are not only dropping their standard price for our event\, but also giving back 50% of the proceeds to the DAC! We couldn’t ask for a more gracious contribution to us for a fundraiser; but as Ashley states\, “I realize what you do for the community\, and I appreciate it. This gives me a chance to do what I love while contributing to your organization and giving families a new wonderful memory that can be cherished for years to come.” \nSessions are perfect for updating your family photos\, holiday cards\, a best friend session\, date night session\, photos of your littles\, photos of your beloved pet\, or whatever you may want! Your photographer will be Ashley and she is wonderful with making accommodations and tailoring each session to be your own. \nSessions will be held in Winona at the East Lake across the road from the “orange park” near the disc golf area. A location map and photo is below. \n  \nThe price for each session is $60.00. Each session includes: \n*A 10-minute mini session. Perfect for those who don’t have a lot of time to spend for photos and also those who don’t like to hold still for long. \n*At minimum of 10 edited digital photos with rights released in an online gallery. (This means you can get them printed wherever you want and don’t have to worry about spending an arm and a leg for print outs!) –Psst: If you’ve booked with us in the past\, you know that Ashley is very generous\, and you usually always get more than 10 edited photos. ;) \n*No maximum number of persons for your photo session to be included in the photos. \n*Pets are welcome to be in the photos with you as long as they are friendly\, and you clean up after them. \n*You will leave with an instruction card on how to access your photos and contact information in case you need assistance.  \n  \nImportant information: \n*If you have any questions on payment/scheduling\, please contact Jenna as she is the coordinator for the event. Please do not contact Ashley. If you would prefer to schedule over the phone\, please contact Jenna. \nPhone: 507-452-1798 Email:jvolkman@winonadac.org \n*The online gallery will be emailed to you so we MUST have an email on file. Galleries are set up for your viewing and downloading 2-3 weeks after the session. The gallery is active for 14 days for you to download your images.  \n*In the event of rain\, the sessions will be rescheduled TBA.  You will keep the same time slot\, unless you ask otherwise and there is an opening for a new time.  \n*No refunds for weather related events or cancellations. \n*The photo props will be disinfected between sessions for everyone’s safety.  \n  \nLocation Information \n \nIf you are not familiar with Winona\, please use the address below that will get you to the pavilion listed on the map (in red) which will in turn help you get to the correct location. If turning off Sarnia Street\, you will take the first left (there is an orange park on the right) and you’ll run right into us. \nLions Pavilion Address: 525 Lake Park Dr\, Winona\, MN 55987 \n  \n \n  \n  \nA little bit about Those Gals Photography \nThey are based in Winona and the Twin Cities. Both ladies were born and raised in Winona\, but life has moved them up to the twin cities.

SUMMARY:Butter Braid Pastries
DESCRIPTION:Winona County DAC is very excited to offer Butter Braid® pastries as a fundraising program. A Butter Braid® pastry is a unique and delicious homemade frozen pastry loaf that the customer lets rise 8-12 hours and then bakes to produce a delicious breakfast\, dessert\, or dinner side. They are hand-braided and layered with real butter to create a sweet\, flaky pastry with incredible flavor that melts-in-your mouth! Butter Braids are NOT sold in stores. \n  \nButter Braid® Pastries are 22 ounces in size and are available in eight delicious flavors: Cinnamon\, Blueberry-Cream Cheese\, Strawberry-Cream Cheese\, Apple\, Cherry\, Raspberry\, Caramel Rolls\, and CHOCOLATE. Each Butter Braid (and the caramel rolls) are $15.00. All products come with a frosting or caramel depending on the braid purchased. \n  \nThe proceeds from the sale will go towards bringing back our “outings program.” We earn $6 for each Butter Braid sold (if we sell over 250 braids otherwise\, we get $5 per braid) and our goal is to raise $2\,500.00. \n*What We Are Fundraising For: Bring Back the Outings* \nWe have been unable to reinstate the Outing program since the COVID-19 pandemic started and we had to shut down for a bit. We have since been climbing steadily back up the hill one step at a time to our new normalcy\, but this is a program we have not been able to bring back yet due to funds. The outings not only created such joy for the individuals\, but in some cases the ability to combine fun with learning. Previous outings were both local\, such as visiting the Winona 7 Theatre\, and non-local\, such as visiting the Reptile and Amphibian Discovery Zoo in Owatonna\, MN. On our radar are opportunities such as an Apple Orchard\, The Science Museum of Minnesota\, the Bell Museum and Planetarium\, Byron Zoo\, and even something as small as a picnic lunch or BBQ and kickball game at the East Winona Lake. \nWe have so many fun and exciting ideas\, but our resources are limited for program upgrades outside our normal program maintenance. We take pride in our mission to foster the interdependence of individuals with the community and fulfillment in teaching new and honing current skills for our individuals in their everyday lives. We are so grateful for your generosity and want to again thank you for being such a wonderful advocate for the Winona DAC and the individuals we serve. \n  \nIf you need additional information about the products we are selling\, visit the company website at www.wcfundraising.com where you will find more descriptive product details and information about your fundraising products. \n  \nThe dates of our sale are listed below. (We know our auction just ended\, but we are really hoping to get an Outing schedule by the time summer starts!)  They will be delivered just in time for Mother’s Day! All Butter Braids will come frozen. Butter Braids will be held at the DAC for pick up between Monday – Friday from 7:00am-3:30pm. \n  \nEnd Date: Tuesday\, April 22\, 2025 (This is a change due to the event coordinator being out and letters unable to being sent home to the houses as early as we would have liked.) \nDelivery Date: Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025 (in the afternoon) \n  \nTo place an order please call or email Jenna or please put the order in online at our store website! When choosing your seller\, please chose the “Winona DAC” as your seller.  All checks are to be made out to the Winona County DAC. Cash is also an option as well. Butter Braids must be paid for by April 21\, 2025. You may order online at: https://store.myfundraisingplace.com/db400375-325f-4f57-bcd4-82f4e7440ecd Just click on the link and then click on a certain seller or\, click on “Winona DAC”) \nFeel free to contact Jenna with any questions you may have or to place an order at 507-452-1798 or jvolkman@winonadac.org. \nThanks in advance for helping make this fundraiser a huge success and for helping to Bring Back the Outings! \n

SUMMARY:5th Annual Mini Photo Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Winona County DAC is once again teaming with Those Gals Photography for our 5th Annual Fundraiser Photo Event. Those Gals are not only dropping their standard price for our event\, but also giving back 50% of the proceeds to the DAC! We couldn’t ask for a more gracious contribution to us for a fundraiser; but as Ashley states\, “I realize what you do for the community\, and I appreciate it. This gives me a chance to do what I love while contributing to your organization and giving families a new wonderful memory that can be cherished for years to come.” \nSessions are perfect for updating your family photos\, holiday cards\, a best friend session\, date night session\, photos of your littles\, photos of your beloved pet\, or whatever you may want! Your photographer will be Ashley and she is wonderful with making accommodations and tailoring each session to be your own. \nSessions will be held in Winona somewhere around the lakes. A location map and photo will be updated the week of the event. \n  \nThe price for each session is $60.00. Each session includes: \n*A 10-minute mini session. Perfect for those who don’t have a lot of time to spend for photos and also those who don’t like to hold still for long. \n*At minimum of 10 edited digital photos with rights released in an online gallery. (This means you can get them printed wherever you want and don’t have to worry about spending an arm and a leg for print outs!) –Psst: If you’ve booked with us in the past\, you know that Ashley is very generous\, and you usually always get more than 10 edited photos. ;) \n*No maximum number of persons for your photo session to be included in the photos\, but please keep in mind the session is scheduled for 10 minutes\, and this may limit the shots you are able to take/receive. \n*Pets are welcome to be in the photos with you as long as they are friendly\, and you clean up after them. \n*You will leave with an instruction card on how to access your photos and contact information in case you need assistance.  \n  \nImportant information: \n*If you have any questions on payment/scheduling\, please contact Jenna as she is the coordinator for the event. Please do not contact Ashley. If you would prefer to schedule over the phone\, please contact Jenna. \nPhone: 507-452-1798 Email:jvolkman@winonadac.org \n*The online gallery will be emailed to you so we MUST have an email on file. Galleries are set up for your viewing and downloading 2-3 weeks after the session. The gallery is active for 14 days for you to download your images.  \n*In the event of rain\, the sessions will be rescheduled TBA.  You will keep the same time slot\, unless you ask otherwise and there is an opening for a new time.  \n*No refunds for weather related events or cancellations. \n*The photo props will be disinfected between sessions for everyone’s safety.  \n  \nLocation Information \nSample Photo of Location \n \n  \nMap for Location \nPhotos will be just off Huff Street on the SMALL lake near the disc golf field. The gold star marks the location. Parking would be best on W 15th Street as there is a sidewalk you can walk on to the location. You can also park on the opposite side of Huff Street and cross at the crosswalk as well. \n \n  \n  \nA little bit about Those Gals Photography \nThey are based in Winona and the Twin Cities. Both ladies were born and raised in Winona\, but life has moved them up to the twin cities. Each have families of their own\, so they are great with working with kids and your beloved 4-legged family members. \nTheir specialties include: \n\nEngagements & Weddings\nSenior Portraits & Professional Headshots\nFamily\nMaternity & Newborn\nReal Estate\nThemed Mini Sessions\n\nFeel free to check out their website at www.thosegalsphotography.com for more about them\, their business\, and a portfolio of their photos! \n  \n—SOLD OUT-SORT OF— \nWow!!

SUMMARY:DAC Christmas Cares 2025
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the staff at the DAC try to give back to their community by supporting a couple of local families who are currently experiencing economic hardship for one reason or another. We here at the DAC would love to see all children have a Merry Christmas and want to help out in a way that we are able to.  \nHow it works:  \nEvery Friday at the DAC is Casual Friday for our staff. This means our staff are allowed to wear work-appropriate shirts with writing\, a hat\, or sweatpants. Each staff contributes $1+ on each Friday they decide to participate or pay $5 to participate every day for the whole month. All of the funds are collected throughout the year and put together to help support children in our community who\, without help\, may not get to have the Christmas every child deserves. \nIn the past we have supported an entire Christmas for 2+ (our highest was 6) families but the need is always so much more. For this reason\, we are going to be limiting the gifts to one or two per child so we are able to help out more families and this way we can ensure more children at least get something to open on Christmas morning. If you feel there is a child or children you know who could benefit from our program\, please fill out the form below. Please know that we will be unable to help every family that is nominated\, but we do our best. We do get a lot of families each year so if you know a family is already being sponsored by another program\, we kindly ask you take that into consideration before submitting a nomination. We would like to see each kiddo get a least one gift to open on Christmas morning and we are unable to provide for every family nominated.  \nNomination deadline was Monday\, December 15th at 8am. Chosen families will be called on Thursday\, December 18th for notification that they have been chosen for this year’s DAC Christmas Cares. Wrapped gifts will be available for pick-up from the DAC between December 22-23\, just before the holiday from 7:30am-3:30pm. At this time\, we are unable to deliver gifts. \n  \n**Please make sure you see the “submission” notification to make sure your nomination was sent through successfully. Thank you!

SUMMARY:19th Annual Auction and Casino Night

We encourage you to bring yourself and your friends out for a night of Blackjack*\, Bingo*\, a silent and live auction\, drinks\, wine raffle\, and appetizers! Doors open at 5:00pm and the silent auction bidding starts immediately following. The live auction will begin at 6:45pm and the silent auction will start closing at the end of the live auction. \n*Blackjack and bingo play are for entertainment purposes only. Everyone wanting to participate will receive the exact same amount of “funny money” to play blackjack with.  If you lose your “funny money” we are sorry\, but Minnesota state law does not allow for the purchase or donation of money for additional “funny money.”   \n  \nWant to help? \nIf you would like to donate an item to the silent or live auction\, please contact Jenna at 452-1798\, by email jvolkman@winonadac.org or drop it off Monday-Friday at the DAC from 7:30am-3:30pm. \nIf you would like to support the DAC by giving a monetary donation you can do so below\, drop it off at the DAC\, or send a check to the DAC with attention to Jenna at 1721 West Service Drive\, Winona\, MN 55987. \nAttend the event!
