Yesterday was the rummage sale and bake sale. I (Mrs. Gray) made the executive decision to cancel the car wash in Mr. Gray's absence. It was just too cold and windy to keep you all from catching your death of cold I decide to nix it. That being said we raised $187 in total from the rummage sale and the bake sale. Not a tremendous amount of money but it was a really fun day with all of you. We need to repay Janet for her pre-sale expenditures and then pay for expedited shipping of your T-shirts (we want to get them in time for your first performance). I will post what our final profit on this adventure is after I order the shirts and we pay back Janet. I will leave it up to a group vote if the remainder of the money is deposited into your account or it is put towards items needed for your Halloween party. After speaking with Ms. Lynn today about her fundraising efforts yesterday it dawned on me that our low sales probably had something to do with this horrid econmic situation our country is in. I do not want any of you to take yesterdays flop personally and I want to thank ALL of your for your hard work and dedication. I have never had the pleasure of working with such a dedicated group of young men and young women. You make Mr. Gray and I very proud! Our next fundraising activity will be the teddy bear and cookie dough sale you all have requested and of course the spagetti dinner event.
