Fund Raising Blues

I spent much of last week printing out and folding brochures for the Soccer fundraiser. Also on the agenda - making sample books and preparing for the coaches meeting. The coaches meeting was last Wednesday, and everything went pretty smooth - I was able to "get rid of" about half my brochures. Whether the coaches will actually hand them out is anyones guess. Notice I said printing out brochures. I decided not to get them "professionally" printed - color copies or prints was going to run me something like six hundred dollars. Instead I went with black and white prints on brilliant yellow and green paper, using my black and white laser printer. Total estimated cost between paper, toner, head wear, etc. is about sixty dollars. So I save about $540 bucks. I suspect that if I had gone with the color prints I would have lost money on the deal. Now I am hopeful that I might earn a little. Hopeful - but not convinced. But hey I'm getting my name out there in the community and that has to be worth something? Right? Right?

I don't know - it depends on my mood, how confident I feel. Right now it's a lousy rainy day, and I keep spinning wheels and waisting time on things I want to do...
