Funds

I haven't blogged about our gourmet dog treat business yet, and my next story requires that you know something about it.

A wealthy patroness of the school, hereafter know as Louise, came to the school with what she called a sure-fire fundraising idea. She had a plan for a gourmet dog biscuit business. Because any non-profit loves wealthy patronesses and her heart and expertise were in the right place, we brought the project on board. After a good deal of planning, I was placed in charge of a 5 student baking and marketing team. We sell the biscuits at church fairs, retirement homes, and to Louise's friends. Louise is working on getting us into high schools and a couple boutiques. We also will sell at a summer farmer's market.
