candy sales

we had a blast selling candy today, it is great to see the girls supporting something they believe in. at first i didn't know what to think about the whole candy sales part of camp fire. but i realize now, it is about getting the girls out into the community and talking to people about all the activities they do. so many people have no idea what camp fire is about and about just as many were bluebirds or involved in camp fire when they were kids. i can't tell you how many people came smiling over to buy some candy and tell us they were in camp fire as a kid or their own kid was a bluebird. i saw some of my shy girls really come out of their shell and my strong girls show love and support to their fellow group members. the neatest thing was how all the moms are bonding, we talked and laughed as our girls rallied in the customers. it was so fun and so addicting! i am personally out of candy, in just one week of selling. so many friends and family members have supported this little group, just another wonderful experience to add to the list. i wasn't even aware that our group will get a small amount of money for every box sold. when i started calculating i found we will have a really good chunk of money coming! my mind is working overtime on all the charities we can donate to and how we can make the money work for our group to do some fun field trips. time to get some more candy to sell...we still have a few more neighborhoods to tackle...maybe it will be yours!
