What prize do I win for my son being the first on the block to bring home fundraising crap today? 3 days into the school year. He tells me that if we sell enough stuff they get to have an ice cream party.
“But honey, you don’t even like ice cream.”
I looked through the “crap” and actually, it’s like a greatest hits of fundraising catalog. There are candies, cards, flower bulbs, calendars, wrapping paper, kitchen stuff, etc. A quick pass through and I saw quite a few things I’d consider, including some really cool Spongebob wrapping paper.
The company sponsoring this is Katherine Beich. When I was a wee little Girl Scout, we sold candy to raise money for a bus trip to Disney. Week in, week out, we sold candy. I had regular people who I kept supplied with their favorites. This is the same company, and some of the same candies are available. Wow, what goes around, comes around. But now there’s a big “no door to door” thing on the front, which is fine because in my neighborhood there are 4 other kids selling the same packets. I can just see us all fighting over the territory – we’d get 7 houses each and one kid would have the advantage of his aunt living across the street.
If you know me and you read this and you want to see the catalog (no obligation, seriously) just ask. I don’t see myself approaching people much past posting this.
