Morocco - Entry #7

This week as per usual we decided to hold a car wash. The other group had originally planned to hold a yard sale. The combination of ideas would benefit our cause as a whole greatly. If someone attended the car wash we could inform them about the yard sale and if someone attended the yard sale we could inform them about the car wash. We hoped the weekend would be extremely busy because it would be Memorial Day weekend, which meant a lot of tourists would be on Cape and especially in Hyannis. Although we were excited, there was a lot of preparation we needed to do before we could have a successful weekend.

This weeks meeting was fairly short. We discussed the idea again about the letter writing but didn't go into much depth about it. We also discussed how we needed help to organize and price all the objects in preparation of Saturday's yard sale. People were asked to volunteer to help out Thursday and Friday after school. Since lacrosse season was over by now I was available to attend both. After Friday everything was put together and seemed like it would work out well. We saved the final touches to be done on Saturday morning.

For Saturday morning we were asked to arrive at 7:30, which was much earlier than the normal 10 and maybe even the 9:30 time. Everyone felt a little pained to wake up so early especially with some of us coming from far away. We still did work tough work though and after counting we successfully raised a combined total of $1300! We finally surpassed $1000 for a fundraiser and hopefully we will continue to improve.
