The Bake Sale allowed us to work collaboratively with one another and was a huge success. We sold nearly everything we baked and could have sold more if we'd had more of the more popular baked goods. We now not only have an easy, efficient way of raising money but we also know what will sell and what won't. The fruit cake didn't sell at all, which really says something about the health of our school but this helps us as we'll know what not to bake next time. I'm debating having another one before the Halloween Event, which we've now decided to be a movie night with trick or treating and a haunted house. We have a meeting tomorrow in which we'll discuss this event as it's coming up frighteningly soon, it is planned on October 28th, the Friday we return from October Break. We raised Rs. 10,540 in this bake sale which was impressive but from this we have to subtract the money we owe the canteen for drinks from the disco as well as the money we have to pay the decorations, both in the Rs. 1000 to 2000 range. This doesn't leave us with much and we need to buy candy for the trick or treating. I need to find out before tomorrow whether I'll be able to buy candy from the American Commissary with SGA money as having American candy will be a great incentive for many people to come. I'm glad we undertook this new activity as it's given us a great experience as well as way to raise money.
