Postponement of Car Wash Fundraiser

At last weeks meeting we decided to postpone the car wash fundraiser that was supposed to occur that following saturday. We decided to do this because there weren't going to be any teacher there and everybody was exhausted from the car washes, we were all just tired and worn out from them especially the people who have been to every car wash fundraiser so far. I think that it was a good idea to postpone the fundraiser because then we would have a break and have a chance to gather ourselves and think of possible new fundraisers or the fundraising to occurr over the summer.

The teachers talked to us about how they are just going to leave it up to us now, which I think is a great idea because then we can get more ideas going for new fundraisers for the fall or possibly over the summer. Shannon Walsh told us how one of her friends made cans with their pictures on them and put these cans in stors where people could put their loose money into. She said that her friend raised a lot of money, if I recall correctly she said that her friend raised over or in the thousands range. I think it's a great idea, however the teachers said we could leave if we wanted to and a lot of people did. On the bright side Vani and I went up to Shannon and said that we'd be more than happy to do something like this and would help work it out. We still have got some bumps to figure out like where to put the cans and who and when we will check on them over the summer. I said I'd write something to go onto the can, something about what the donation would go to and about what we're fundrasing for. I think I should write that there will be car wash fundraisers over the summer, which might bring in more customers to the car wash fundraisers.

Also, we plan on this coming week to get into small groups and brainstorm about new ideas for fundraising. I think that it would be great because then we could prepare early for the fall and possibly raise a lot more money than if we were to just come in in september and have to brainstorm them. Precious time would be lost if we don't brainstorm now and think of ideas in the fall, time is money!
