Car Wash a BIG success

Wow on the success of the car wash! We raised over $1,600. Thank you Mr. Ringer for organizing this and all the work you did. At the beginning of the day things weren't looking too optimistic due to the cloudy overcast morning and the downright chilly air. The first car pulled up about 9:30 am and the kids dove into those buckets of ice cold water and got started. From that point on it was a steady stream of cars, we never had an idle moment.

Over at the bake sale the ladies had set up four very long table heavily laden with baked goods. By 11:00 o'clock one table was empty. By noon the second. The ladies at Chickahominy Middle School were generous with their donations of baked goods and we had some cinnamon rolls that made a meal all by themselves. There were brownies with candy on top, whole cakes, cookies with CMS written in chocolate, lemon bars, ginger snaps and so much more. By the end of the day we were down to half a table of goods and the bake sale brought in $400 of the $1,600.

At the end of the day we had a school bus come in. This belonged to Mrs. Foley one of our archers' parents. The kids loved it, oh now this was cool. They got to splash the bus with soap and scrub the windows with the long arm of the sponge. They had a blast and I'll bet that's the cleanest bus on the street come Monday morning.
