I feel good about our fundraising opprunities thus far and what we can do in the future. The car washes have been very successful, probably more so than expected, and next week I will be going to the yard sale to help out with that. I was thinking about how great of an opprunity that will be considering it will be momerial day weekend and Main Street should be filled with tourists. I expect us to make alot of money that day. It is good that we are all working equally hard to maike this happen. It seams like now the kids who were origionally slacking are putting in an extra credit so the work can be spread equally. I do feel somewhat badly because I wasn'e able to make the first two car washes, but it was because I had prior commitments which I could not get out of, and because I went to the yardwork/cooking fundraiser at Mr. Hyer's house and I will be going next saturday I think I am doing my fair share of the work. My one fear at this point is that the fundraisers we are doing won't be enough. I know I cannot afford to be paying the majority of the money for the trip and neither will many other kids. I got a job for the summer and have already started working weekends, but realisticly only a percentage of that money can go to the trip. I have to pay for other expenses like food, gas, and other day to day expenses. I think as a group we will have to depend on group fundraising more than people expect, because all teenagers have these same expenses.
