With our 2013 season quickly coming to an end, I thought I would recap our summer adventures. We spent our summer participating in several school fundraisers. We were able to bring our mini donuts back to Livingston Academy for 3 of their home football games. It was nice to set up and see so many familiar faces from last year.
We also set up at the Baxter Elementary School on the first day back to school. We greeted the teachers and children at the front door with fresh, hot mini donuts. A few weeks later, we were at the Baxter Street Fair and from that event, we were asked by the Baxter Rebels Football team to come and set up at all of their football games this season. We met so many great Baxter folks and can’t wait to go back next season.
We also did our very first long distance fundraiser. The Dryden Cardinals Football team from Dryden MI pre sold mini donuts and donut pops to raise money for the team. We then made, packaged and shipped over 200 orders to Michigan for delivery. It was quite an experience and we appreciate the efforts and patience of the fundraiser coordinators as we fumbled our way through a first for us.
We have been asked by the Cookeville Sears to set up in the parking lot again this year for Black Friday. We will be there all night and into the day on Friday. We had a lot of fun last year with some help from our kids and friends that stopped by throughout the night to offer support.
As our 2013 season comes to an end, we have some things we are working on for next spring. Change is in the air in a big way and we will be sharing as things begin to come together. Those who know us well already know that we have a dream to travel across the country and our mini donuts are going to play a large part in allowing us to do so. Stay tuned for updates on that!
