St. Patty's Day Fundraising

We took a crap-load of green beads and shamrock cookies to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Westport thinking we were going to get rid of all our green stuff in exchange for the more important green stuff....$$$$. The problem was........so was everyone else! We were competing with so many other Team In Training members and other St. Patty's Day vendors. Our team even got stopped by the "vendor police" because we didn't have a license. The normal cost was $250, but they said they would cut us a break and only charge $100. We made a whopping $1.25 and decided to take our green stuff elsewhere. We went to HyVee and set up shop inside. We also had a bake sale at Walgreens, and with all attempts we ended up with around $173. Yesterday was "jeans day" for all of the Olathe Walgreens, so hopefully we had a good day of donations. Anyone still wanting to donate can visit my fundraising page: http://pages.teamintraining.org/mid/rnr10/ezacharias
