What if we ordered some of those "Butter-Braid Breads" (stuffed with
cream cheese, etc.)
and cooked them at home the night before, only to
be re-heated in
toaster ovens and served with coffee the next morning at school?
We could buy them for $5 each, but serve them for "free" (with a $1
cup of coffee!) AND have order forms at the ready to see if anyone
wanted to buy any of the breads frozen, through the fundraiser. They
would have to have the "free" stuffed, coffee roll with their coffee,
but the smell of it being heated right in the breezeway would drive
sales, and we would have almost no costs whatever if the people who
sold the coffee that morning ordered their own breads &/or brought
their own grounds from home to make the coffee with. (PTSA has a big
urn I bet we could borrow, or we could even buy one for the team.)
Any sales made that day off of coffee or sold-breads is credited to
the debaters who work that day, (which rewards those willing to get to
school early and do it.)
What do yall think? (Maybe I can even I can even get the salesperson
that put that stuff in my box last week to "donate" some breads to the
team to get us kickstarted?)
Some moms & dads might even volunteer to help,
rather than forking over more money out of pocket for tournament
travel. These could be separate fundraisers at each school: CMM,
Youree, and Magnet High.
