Happy holidays! September and October seem to be when the world starts looking forward to various fall and winter holidays. First up is Halloween. While it’s not really my favorite holiday, it marks the beginning of the many holidays to come. It also marks the beginning of planning for those other holidays.
When it comes to holiday fundraisers, that’s when the fun starts, too. Whether it’s candy, popcorn, wrapping paper, or Christmas décor, it seems that many non-profit organizations take to the streets to fund the upcoming year’s activities. My son’s Scout troop is no different. The thing that is different, is that my husband and I are the co-chairpersons for the troop’s biggest and formerly only fundraising effort: holiday wreaths. They come in a wide variety of sizes, from small wreaths that fit any front door to large wreaths you might see hanging over the front entrance of your local car dealership. The wreaths are made fresh by a local wholesaler and the sale culminates in picking the wreaths up and distributing them the week before Thanksgiving.
This big event kicked off just yesterday and will be going right up until you have Trick-or-Treaters knocking on your door. Excuse me while I process more orders and questions.
