Fundraiser

Today we had our YM fundraiser, for Scout Camp, High Adventure, and Philmont. We sold hot dogs, washed cars, and had a yard sale with things people in our ward donated. People donated clothes, furniture, toys, books, a gumball machine, speakers, a TV, golf clubs, CD cases, a keyboard, hard drives, shelfs, shoes, and someone donated 3 boxes of old vinyl records. Everything that wasn't sold there is being sold on ebay or donated to The Salvation Army. For the carwash, the city on Plano said that we couldn't use soap, because the runoff goes into the nearby creak. I had fun standing on a traffic island holding a sign where Park and Roundrock meet. The night before we all went to Brother Bishop's house to organize everything and to onload. This morning we all went back at 6 am to set up. The fundraser lasted from 7 am to 1 pm, but I had to leave early because I had piano lessons.
The scouts (12-13 year olds) go to scout camp this summer from the 11th to the 16th. It is located at Hale Scout Reservation in Talhinia, Oklahoma. The website is halescoutreservation.org.
The YM 14+ years old are going to high adventure this summer the week after scout camp. It is in Corpus Christie, Texas, but besides that I don't know more about it.
Philmont is next year for 14+ year olds, and is at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. The website is philmontscoutranch.org.
