Fourth Blogpost

The past week has been very productive as far as fundraising goes. We have narrowed our activities down to two events that we will both do during May 2010. The first event that we realized we wanted to do was a Car Wash. The Car wash is suppose to take place on May 8th but due to foul weather we will be re-planning it to the fifteenth. I believe the car wash is a very good idea because we were able to publicize it very well and we made flyers that were distributed to most of the students so that they would be able to give them to their parents. The idea was that the paretns would hang them up in their workplaces and other would people would be interested in attending the car wash.
The other fundraising event that we developed was a "yard-sale" that we were planning on doing at the end of the month of May 2010. The yard-sale would take place in the school and we would sell items brought in by students are parents. Flyers and emails were sent out to parents for them to virtually "clean out their closet and basements" in order to find things that could be sold for fundraising at the yard-sale. I believe this will be a great idea and generate a good amount of money because people on Main Street will see it and will find it appealing. Yard-sales are loved by many people and with having one in a school, for a good cause, people would be very interested.
I think the fundraising ideas are very good because we thought them through and came to the conculsion that they will raise a lot of money. I am planning on attending the yardsale because we that is what my group decided to do, and I will not be attending the car wash but I am telling all of my other family and friends about it. I am loooking forward to the yard-sale and to see how many things we can get, and how much we can sell them for. This week is the start of the fundraising!
