Re: MID: Fundraisers

[Antionette Koontz <akoontz@CDEDUCATION.ORG>]

When my daughter's class needed to raise money for a class trip, they sold
candy - Not through a fund raising company - Two adults ( the tacher and
one of the parents)would go to the nearest wholesale store ( try  Sam's
Club and check you rphone book for wholesale candy sellers
and purchase boxes of candy. They brought them in, each student cheacked out
so many boxes and sold them at going price for store-bought candy, the
profit was entered into each students record and they "earned" the money
for each to go. Students who sold more than they needed would transfer
monies to another who needed it.
