Last class

I was excited with the amount of money we were able to bring in yesterday at the final on campus fundraiser. Although the pie in the face did not sell as we expected, we were able to sell shirts and baked goods. Students walking buy would also give us money without taking anything. What I need to accomplish this week is gathering the supplies for the event. So far, I know I need to buy drinks (water and soda from Sam's), plates, cups, napkins, and cutlery. We need to decide who is buying the ticket buckets (garden pots), how many sodas and what type along with the amount of water, if we are buying Arnold Palmer ice tea and how much, and if there is anything else I need to get on my shopping trip. I also need to get the gift baskets from my friends house. I think I'll get the baskets closer to the event so the beer does not have to sit in my car until Sunday.  As for my performance in the class, I think I could of participated more in class. I would of also liked to go to more events outside of the class, but was unable to.

12 more days

Over the past week, I've been exploring stores to get an idea of the cost of supplies. I finally heard a response from my friends mother who works at Bond Distributing. She said her work is planning to give us some gift baskets filled with beer, t-shirts and "other fun stuff". I am meeting with her tonight to help her create the baskets. The next step for the party planning committee is to price out the cost of a keg for the event. We also need to plan and get everything together for the other fundraiser on campus. We need to determine when we are going to have the event, who is going to participate and what we are going to have in the way of games and/or baked goods. Other than that, we need to decide what decor and supplies we need, and find the cheapest places to get them.
