[CyberTOPS] bake sale

[HUGHES, GEORGE]

I don't see anything wrong with it. If we were going to do a bake sale we would include regular and low fat items and we would be doing the bake sale to raise money to go to SRD or for our treasury.....not to advertise for TOPS. If someone would ask I would just say MODERATION, MODERATION, MODERATION which is true if you are able to practice it or you could just say, "I made all of this last night and then realized I didn't need it so I'm selling it to you!" LOL! Unfortunately my experience over the last 20 years in TOPS has shown me that food fundraisers make the most money and without SRD funds I wouldn't have been able to attend every Texas SRD since 1989. We have sold pizza cards, had bake sales, sold food at our garage sales and always made a lot of money. And the candy and etc. sales in different brochures we use sold the most over the other non food products. In my last chapter we even had a fundraiser were you invited people to eat at a certain restaurant one night and I think 10% or 25% of the ticket went to our chapter. Plus we used to use Kroger Share Cards and we would get between 100 - 175.00 a year!
