Yesterday I had the kick-off show for my first fundraiser. It is for the National MS Society. There were about 16 people there, and right now sales is at $1100. 4 people took packets with them to collect orders, and several people still need to order. I am pretty excited. We did a Baked Potato Bar, and I made an apple-cranberry crisp (Did Mom's apple crisp and added cranberries) and baked it at the show. It was so much fun. Right now I have 1 firm booking, 3 maybe's and 2 recruit leads. I will see how everything plays out. I have another Fundraiser during a lunch hour in 1 1/2 weeks, and I plan on doing it the same way. For my 2nd fundriser, they already have the packets, and I will be closing the show the day after the fundraiser.
 
This sounds great. Way to go. May all your fundraisers be this successful.
