Because summer is almost
over, it was decided that a last field trip was in order for the hardworking
troopers of Club 316. They hoped to
raise enough money to go to Paradise Waterpark.
They needed to raise money
to pay for the full costs associated with the trip and so decided on a fund
raiser today at The Family Store during the monthly 50% off storewide sale.
Today Club 316 troopers
had a fund raiser at The Family Store.
They sold water bottles, snow cones, chocolates, candy, and
crackers. Employees, customers and even
volunteers were purchasing refreshments to cool off.
Afterwards, troopers made
some sales in a friendly neighborhood, introducing themselves as part of The
Salvation Army Club 316.
It was a very productive –
and successful – day! Already HALF of
the money needed to fund the field trip to Paradise Waterpark was raised
today. The children are all confident
that they can raise the rest before the planned trip next week!
