As a fundraiser for CanSkate, we deliver phonebooks.
This is our third year doing this. The first year, we got a route in Winkler. The past two years, we've gotten a route in Morden (much more convenient!)
So, yesterday, before and after supper, we delivered 436 phonebooks.
We had a bit of extra help. Austin's friend, Ethan, came over to play in the afternoon and offered to help us. (I wasn't going to turn that down!)
The kids did so well!
I was able to drive the van and send them out with two to five books at a time. They were so great at going to the different houses and plugging away until it all got done. In total, it took us a little over three hours to finish.
And then, the rewards:
Slushies from Thornview Grocery. Yum.
What a great idea for a fundraiser. Looks like the kids didn't mind so much. The reward was worth it!
ReplyDeleteLots of helpers make fund raising easier, don't they?!
