Rose Sale $622.35 - Final Profit

[Guest guest]

Today I took the cash box to the bank and after deducting the costs

the total profit that will be sent to PSC Partners Seeking a Cure is

$622.35. The check will go out with the mail on Friday.

Bud and Bettyanne have offered to donate Beanie's and Greenery again

next year, Amy who owns the studio has said we can do it again next

year, and my grandmother and aunt have offered to help again next

year. I think we may even have more orders next year so I will need

some additional volunteers and an air conditioned space to work on

the bouquets (a church meeting room would be best). This year the

Hampton Inn gave us their meeting room for free but I don't what we

would have done without it because 375 is a lot more roses than I

had pictured and we needed one table for each volunteer plus lots of

room to lay the completed bouquets. The ones without the bears we

put in buckets but we layed the ones with bears down.

It was a lot of work but it made us feel good to know that we were

helping. Also, the roses smelled wonderful and seeing how happy the

children were to have the roses after their recitals made us really

feel good, especially seeing the small children with them. Our cost

were right at $600 but they will be lower next year because we

already have some of the things we needed such as extra water tubes

(I bought 1000 and we used less than 400). I also have some extra

tissue paper and cellophane.

I really want to thank Bud and Bettyanne for donating the greenery

and Beanie Babies!
