My daughter is a member of a football/cheerleading organization in our area and a while back I took some information to the board about a PC fundraiser. At the time they seemed very enthusiastic and voted to do it, if the cheerleaders advanced in competition. I spoke later with the head coach and again she said that if the cheerleaders advance they will do the fundraiser. Well, Saturday several teams advanced. When I spoke to her last night she said the coaches and board met and decided instead to do (get this) a Krispy Kreme Donuts and Dunkin Donuts coffee fundraiser! Appearantly the profit margin is better, but 50% of a donut is still 50% of a DONUT!
Then she said that if they advance in the next competition (or the football players do) they may need to do another fundraiser or maybe next year. I tried to be gracious, but I was actually really angry. This is a Mickey Mouse organization anyway and I shouldn't be surprised, but I don't know how to handle it now. Should I remind them that we had a verbal agreement? Should I drop off another packet of information (like she suggested) and not place a whole lot of expectation on it? Or should I just forget it altogether and move on - and send information to other groups in the state?
Last night I was so angry and annoyed that I came home threatning to quit to my husband - who is a smart enough man to not take me too seriously when I get like that - but I was (and am) still really upset and annoyed by the whole thing. Is there anything I can do here?
Thanks for listening to my venting,
