Betty spent today baking 40 dozen Valentine Cookies. Tomorrow she is trying to get them all iced and bringing them into the store on Monday for the people who ordered them. it's hard to believe we had orders for 40 dozen from the 3 stores. Actually only 2 dozen went to one store, the rest was divided up here in town. That's $120 for the relay, actually its $109. Betty found and bought styrofoam containers 100 for $11.00 and she bought them figuring we could use them for something else also if need be. We are giving her back the $11 from the proceeds and the rest goes to our team and specifically Betty towards her goal of $100.I want to talk to some of the local small businesses about selling the die cut cards for in their windows, we are doing this in March at our store also. Jen never did get the buckets over to me today. I also have an idea to talk to the area businesses and see if they would be interested in donating for a specific amount and getting advertising on our backs during the actual relay. We could do signs with the name of the business and then wear the signs around our walks on the track. Something maybe to the tune of $50.00 an hour. or so. Possibly even $300 for a sign on our tent the entire weekend advertising that company. Could work it so that any company selling the die cuts could get a half hour free or something to that effect.
I like the looks of this red, but the relay color is actually purple..I think from here on out any posts having to do with the relay will be written in purple and will make it easier for people to find.
We have one more person considering joining us. She had asked me yesterday if it was to late to still sign up. She is checking to make sure the date is okay and I will take her in a sign up sheet on Monday.
If any of you have any ideas for fund raisers please either email me or leave a comment here.
