Sophie, who is definitely the entrepreneur in the family, decided that she wanted to raise money for Haiti by having a bake sale. She and her dad approached our condo manager, Bonnie, who okayed a time and place, and put out signs and an email blast to advertise for her.
Sophie used her own money to buy supplies for rice krispie treats, peanut butter and hershey kiss cookies, and pink frosted sugar cookies. She made a sign for her table, and the whole family helped with baking. And on Friday night and Saturday morning, she and her dad set up their table outside the condo office and sold to our fellow residents. Many people stopped by and were very generous in their donations - so generous that she was able to give Pastor Lee an envelope containing 137 dollars!
We are very proud of our little fundraiser! The money she raised will go to the Vineyard Church's relief efforts in partnership with Convoy of Hope and Compassion International (more information on the Vineyard's Mercy Response here: http://www.mercyresponse.com/cgi-bin/kingdomtools/ktpublic.rb).
