Clubs partici¬ pate in fund raising projects All clubs took part in many ac¬ tivities and money making projects. One such money making project was the running of the concession stand at home games. At the beginning of the year a list of all home games were sent to each club. The clubs decided which dates they were able to work. Then a schedule was set up trying to keep all clubs working the same amount. After taking the average of what each club received last year the sum of $85 for every basketball game and $35 for every volleyball game was ar¬ rived at. This was how much each club received for their efforts work¬ ing at the concession stands. Michelle Swisher and Brenda Schroeder work in a concession stand to raise money for the Interior Design club.
