Concentrating on fun and games, the new Leominster Education Foundation is rolling out a number of new endeavors to raise money for the city's schools.

The foundation is hosting a golf tournament at Oak Hill Country Club this summer, and this fall will roll out "Leominsteropoly," a twist on the traditional "Monopoly" that will use local landmarks as properties.

But first, the foundation will pack the Entertainment Cinemas this weekend with screenings of "Shrek the Third." Over 900 tickets have already been sold for the Saturday and Sunday showings. The weekend includes the raffling off of a Shrek basket given by DreamWorks, the producer of the film.

The Leominster Education Foundation, created this spring, is working to raise money to purchase two mobile computer labs for Leominster High School, and at least one mobile lab for each middle school.

Each lab cart will hold 12 to 14 computers, with wireless Internet connection, a printer, projector, and cameras. The carts will be designed to be flexible, allowing one teacher to use the system, or a number of teachers to use the computers at the same time.

"Technology is the focus of why we're raising the money," said Wendy VanVoorhis, who is organizing the Leominsteropoly effort. "We want to raise money for the mobile labs."

Foundation members are currently soliciting local businesses, and asking them to purchase properties on the Leominsteropoly board. The foundation is also selling "patron ads" that will allow anyone in the city to list their name or business in the center of the board.

The game will be available at the Johnny Appleseed Festival in September, but preorders are available by contacting VanVoorhis. Spots on the board cost $350 to $450. The games will be sold for $25.

The Leominster Education Foundation Golf Tournament will be held on July 9, and the scramble tournament will include a raffle, silent and live auction, lunch, dinner, and a chance to win a new Toyota Tacoma in the hole-in-one contest.

"A golf tournament is a fun way to try and raise some money. I think they're very popular," said Ernie Muserallo, one of the co-chairmen of the tournament. "It's fun for the golfers and in a lot of cases fun for the sponsors."
