Since we came together as a small group of parents last month to raise funds for our children, to take this fantastic trip to the east coast, we have raised just over $400. It was mostly due to the garage sale that Cindee offered to host at her home. All of the items were donated by either us (the parents) or by friends and neighbors. There was a huge abundance of items that did not sell at the garage sale.
Cindee also had many larger items that would not sell and the people that donated them did not want them back. I'll have to give her a call and find out if she managed to sell any of the items or if they are still out in the rain (she only had a carport to store them under).
WARNING: a rant to follow -
It makes you wonder why people use the guise of donating an item for a good cause just to find a way to dump it. Don't they realize that a non-selling item has to be stored, transported to another donation spot or to the dump? All of that costs money to a financially strapped group to begin with. End of rant.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the people did come back and take back their items that did not sell.
Another way that the kids are raising money is selling See's candy bars. I don't know the figures on those sales but for now the candy selling has come to a halt until the school can get more to sell.
