[LM_NET] MID/OT: Candy bar fundraising

[Hilary Grant <GrantH@HURONVALLEY.K12.MI.US>]

I am in charge of running our 8th grade trip to Washington, DC each
year.  Rather than sell raffle tickets like we usually do, I want to
switch to a candy bar sale.  I have a company in mind to use but I was
wondering if anyone has sold candy as a fundraiser (or works with
someone who does who could give me some great advice/direction).  

I am trying to wrap my brain around the logistics of it.  I will have a
fundraiser meeting in the fall and will explain it to the parents.  I
figure I will have parents tell me approximately how many cases they
want to sell and order that.  Once a parent sells a case, they can get a
new one.  A portion of the profits will go toward our scholarship fund
to help pay for trips of students who can't afford to go.  

Has anyone run a candy bar sale (or work with someone who does who is
super organized) who can help fill in the blanks in my brain?!

Please email me directly.

Thank you!
