Hello,
I am hoping you can direct me. I wanted to purchase additional items for the Samosa & Chutney fundraiser but it is no longer in my cash online as I have already made an initial purchase. Is there a member I can contact directly to add on to my order?
Thank you!
The school admin team can arrange payment for additional items. The PAC doesn’t handle payments at all.
