Chocolate Sales for igo100

May 27, 2010

Proving the power of chocolate cravings, 450 dollars was raised through the sale of chocolates over the past few months for the igo100 school fundraiser. Erin Jefferis and Cindy Bain worked together as the Easter Bunny team, and they convinced many people to buy these treats.

 

Erin and her daughter, Laura, set up a table at a grocery store during the Christmas season, and provided several people with yummy stocking stuffers. Meanwhile, Cindy made her desk a chocolate magnet at work. Even I found myself wandering to her desk some days, money in hand, looking for a sugar buzz.

 

Thank you Erin, Cindy and Laura, for all of the time and effort you put into helping me raise money to build a school! You rock!

This was my fault, as I started drinking my electrolytes too late. So I had to stop and top up – the good news is I felt it before things got bad. Lesson learned: Next time I'll start fueling earlier and more aggressively.

Yes, I'm sore. Really, really sore. And pleased.
