Fun = Fundraising

Taylor has the FUN opportunity to take a trip at the end of this school year to New York and Boston.  It will be an amazing chance to visit sites like Boston Common, Beacon Hill, Paul Revere House, USS Constitution, Lexington Battle Green and in New York--the Museum of Science, Empire State Building, Times Square, Ground Zero, the Met, Statue of Liberty, Smithsonian and two Broadway shows!!!  It sounds like so much fun, I wish I could go too! It will be a 6 day educational extravaganza!

Unfortunately, it is quite expensive and Taylor will have to earn most of the money herself if she wants to go.  We can subsidize some of her trip, but she is looking at earning $1700 by the end of the school year.  I think she can do it! She's always been great at earning money and even though this seems like an overwhelming amount--I think it will be good for her to learn she can succeed at it!  We are thinking about selling door-to-door, having a yard sale, car washes, bake sales...etc.  It will be a challenge, for sure!

I know we'll be able to count on our extended family to support Taylor in this, and donations would definitely be welcome, but even more..if you could give us ideas, motivation and encouragement. That would be AWESOME!!

Wish us luck!!! We'll need it to make this a success!!!
