The Krispy Kreme fundraiser went as well as could be expected for a record-setting HOT day. We made $160 from the May Bake Sale and paid $184.50 for the 38 dozen we bought. (I fronted the extra and gas money.) We were supposed to sell them at $7, 8, and 9 but I'd lost the paper and sold them at $6, 7, &8 a dozen. Even still, we should have made $259.00- a profit of $74.50. Minus a dropped dozen, a dozen not picked up, and selling the rest at cost or giving them away that Monday, we made $17.50. Yikes.
Definitely a learning experience. We'd gotten bumped from a Saturday to a Sunday, which also hurt, and had to compete with the Register Guard guy literally snagging people away from our table to sign up for their drawing and spiel. Very frustrating. If I had to do it over again, I think I would have insisted on the Saturday and made sure we didn't have any other out-front competition. Oh- and double checked the weather forecast beforehand ;)
Dawn, I can't thank you enough for being out there and doing this with me! It was hot and I really, Really appreciated your company!!!
Many of the dozens were also mismarked, and so we weren't charging what we should have for them. I think I would also suggest, to anyone venturing on a Krispy Kreme fundraiser in the future, buying a HECK of a lot more original glazed than anything! The mixed fancies did NOT go well, nor did the chocolate frosted cake doughnuts. The glazed raised were really the big sellers.

The Bake Sale yesterday went well. We made $101.00! Huge thanks to Leila, Cathy, Tamara, Emily, and Sherri for helping bake! It was just too hot- I hope no one minded the chocolate-covered strawberries or whacky iced AngelFood Cake I brought! Leila's cookies were fabulous- I'm not sure which things everyone else brought but I know these were especially yummy!
I split donations between team members, trying to make sure everyone is acknowledged in fundage for their contribution to the team. Even if you're just being supportive and getting the word out there, you're doing a lot to help!!

The bracelets Cheryl ordered for our team came in today! 1 package was incorrect, so she's going to try and get it replaced, but otherwise we're good and ready to go. We're selling them for $2 apiece at reception or at my desk. We'll sell as many as we can at $2 each, and sell the rest for $1 each at Relay. We have a dark pink bracelet that says: Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, and Friends, or a light pink that says: Hope, Faith, Love. Hopefully a lot of coworkers will get into it and we'll be seeing people sport them all across campus. Email to come shortly. Thank you so much Cheryl!

The Breadmaker is still going in full swing! It's still going every Friday, flavor available on the intranet Eugene Daily News as updated by Emily if you are interested. I'm experimenting with new and interesting flavors such as Sundried Tomato & Basil and Garlic Cheese Focaccia. So far it's going really well! We've had $10 bids the past couple of weeks- fabulous!

The Raffles we have going on end this weekend, and we'll draw for the parking spots and the prizes when we get back on Wednesday. Very excited!
