The Yellow Book

Our family fundraising efforts continue! This time, the whole family helped earn band trip money. We picked up, bagged, and delivered 276 Yellow Books. It only took us about 4 hours. (Sarcasm doesn't play well in a blog.) I think the secret to delivering Yellow Books must be a truck. If only we had borrowed a truck, we could have delivered them all in one trip. Instead, we refilled the back of Super D's hatchback at least 4 times.

This week we will pick up more books and deliver the remainer of the route. We have about 350 houses and businesses left to do. Then, we have 3 more routes. I think we will earn about half of the money for A's trip with this fundraiser. It was a bit tedious, but we enjoyed being together. It was nice that the kids got to help with this one because we want to teach our children the value of working to earn money. We won't break it down for them and let them know how little they are making per hour.
