Volunteers Wanted!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So guess what I learned today?

Sometimes your friends aren’t very helpful. Sometimes you’ve got to beg and plead to get stuff done.

And sometimes, if all else fails, you’ve got to bribe your friends with salsa and homemade cookies.

Stoogles and I had a ‘Kinz meeting today and we were asking our friends to help with the fair. We just wanted them to volunteer for one hour at a game or ride or booth. The idea is to get LOTS of volunteers, so everyone only has to work for one hour, and they get two hours of fun.

The problem is, EVERYONE wanted the ‘cool’ jobs, like making cotton candy or helping with the rides. No one wanted to sell tickets or work at the first aid station. So I offered cookies or salsa to anyone who took a ‘boring’ job.

And you know what? They STILL complained!

Eventually, Molly agreed to help at the first aid station (she said it could be ‘interesting’). Stoogles and I decided to take tickets. Yuck.

Maybe Purr-Cilla has had better luck finding volunteers.

    Cookies and Salsa, really? I’d wager that they already HAVE cookies and salsa. Food is not how you bribe people. Trust me. $~Addict502~$

    I would like to help in at least SOME way. If no one else will take the boring job, I’ll take the ticket-holder job…if I’m allowed. I hope we’ll be allowed to participate in it. After all, why else would they give us a date of when it would be?

    I will sell ticket but not first aide. For prizes why don’t you get a letter from Mrs Cowline saying you are doing a Fall Fair and would they like to donate prizes and take a copy to all the businesses in the area. That is what we did at my school, the new dollar store donated a lot of cool little prizes.
