First Tag Day: off to a good start

This first fundraiser of the '07-08 season got off to a cold gray start. Even though it was drizzly (or outright raining), the girls stood at their posts. Their smiling "good morning!" calls seemed to cheer up the gloomy shoppers. Many of the girls took part, from the littlest Level 4, to the seasoned veteran Level 10s. The candy was a big hit with the kids in the shopping carts. (although it seemed like a lot of the dads were going for the Smarties).

The proceeds were good, given that there was an unstaffed shift at MarketBasket and that we wrapped it up an hour earlier than last year. Still, the girls managed to raise a good sum. The funds raised will be going towards helping defray the expenses of sending our girls to Regionals and Nationals, and for the year-end banquet and yearbooks. Good job girls.

Thanks to the parents who helped too: Pat, Gail, Mary, Lisa, Fred, Roger, Julie, Rita, Liz, Audrey. Thanks for giving up part of your Saturday to help the girls. (If you helped too, but I forgot your name, it's because I didn't write them down on Saturday. I thought of it, sure, but did I do it? Noooo.
