This is one of the fun aspects of being part of a team without unlimited resources. The kids learn that to achieve a goal that seems out of reach every little bit helps, even if what they do is wave sign, carry around a box of chocolate bars, wash cars, etc. Our kids got out there in the midst of strangers (adult supervision of course) and asked if they would support our team's efforts to go to nationals by purchasing a hot dog lunch. That's one of those life skills that will help them later in life as they learn to handle job interviews or social situations where they walk in knowing no one and must leave having met someone.

All the receipts etc have not been tallied yet so we have no idea how much our efforts contributed to the overall fund raising goal. A big thank-you goes out to Bass Pro Shop for allowing us to do our cook-out in front of their store, to Michael Bright for setting it up for us, and to Jenny Coppel for organizing, shopping, set up and clean up and of course working all day including a quick run to purchase more hot dogs & sodas since we sold more than expected.
