ation aising money supports clubs Does two-hundred-thir- teen thousand dollars sound like a lot of money? That was the amount raised in a single year by organiza- tions through their fund- raising activities. The most popular way to raise money was through candy sales. ln one year fourteen candy sales were held with variations ranging from chocolate hearts to gummi bears. Selling was not always easy because the rule of not selling in school had to be followed. Selling munchies was the best because it made the most money. But l real- ly couldn't stand it when a mob of people crowded me and I sold out without hav- ing enough for everyone, said Lori West, sophomore. One could purchase a flower for his sweetheart at seven different times during the year including Valen- tines Day and St. Patrick's Day. Students looked for- ward to a red camation that said I love you, but pur- ple ones that said You have an enemy, were to be avoided. Senior Maria Mokry stat- ed, During the two and a half days of the sale, we were mobbed with people anxious to 'say it with flow- ers,' and we sold nearly 5500 flowers. AFS held three pizza sales which were unique to their club. The pizza sales were an activity that no oth- er club could come close to producing, said Mike Nudo, sophomore. The combined budget for the three publications was approximately SI50,000, so it was important that many literary magazines, newspa- pers, and yearbooks were sold. We sold the year- bookfnewspaper combina- tion for S25, which was be- low production costs, so we had to sell candy to make up the deficit, commented Shamia Bullock, Piper busi- ness manager. From M6i'M's to key- chains, fund-raising activi- ties produced much-need- ed revenue. Organizations 75
