Fundraising update... We just finished selling Little Caesars Pizza Kits. We did well. We sold a total of 25 kits and at a minimum of $5 each, we have earned $125. Sometimes I wonder if I should actually buy the item or just donate the cash. As an example... we ordered 3 kits to the tune of about $50 which means a $15 deposit for the trip. Would it have made more sense to just donate $50 directly? Probably, but pizza sure will taste good, LOL!
We still have a long way to go... just shy of $900 left to raise and there are only 2 more organized fundraisers. The last 2 were not as profitable as I had hoped - earning less than $200 total. Maybe we'll still do okay as we continue. I am saving my popcans to the tune of about $3.00 a month - not much, but better than not. We are also saving them at home, but last month it was only $5.00 there. But I guess $8.00 times 6 months is close to $50. If anyone would like Kyla to return their pop bottles for them, she is willing to do so if you'll donate them to her trip. I am also going to list some items on ebay and earmark the money for the trip. Not sure that will work, but who knows.
On other fronts...
- Bailey is playing basketball. She is really enjoying it. First games this weekend. Should be fun.
- School... I signed up to go back to college. Going to pursue a photographic technology certificate - class cancelled. So I signed up for 2 workshops and a half semester class. No credit for any of them, but I think it will get me into the swing of classes, assignments and structure.
Road trips...
- Family trip to Ludington. Finally picked up the print I won from Todd and Brad Reed Photography. You should check them out - absolutely amazing http://www.toddandbradreed.com/
- Weekend away with hubby. We went to the UP for some hockey and photography. Lakers beat the Spartans in a shoot out. Good times. Whitefish, Iriquois, Paradise and Tahquamenon Falls on Sunday. Oh yeah, and a flat tire. Sunday night in St. Ignace with a room overlooking the Mighty Mac. Monday's trip home included Alpena and Presque Isle lighthouses. And did I mention a new scrapbook store in West Branch.
Thanks for stopping by.
