In addition to Cornwall, 23 people from Oakville (Cedarview) will be coming with us Peru. This group has been participating in the orientation sessions we are doing from afar and getting fundraising moving too. Below is their event that was also held on Dec 5th. Enjoy.
We just had our bazaar on Saturday and it was a great event! I believe that we raised $6500.00 profit.
Here is a brief description of the day:
All 18 youths, lots of leaders and even more parents all pulled together to put on a great bazaar. From the time that the idea was conceived to the day it was executed, it was about 8 weeks. The result of this intense planning were the following rooms: Plants, Cookie Decorating, Groceries, Kids Shopping Only, Gifts, Games, Popcorn and Movies, T-shirts and International Cafe. Many church members contributed baked goods, dishes, time and money in support of this event.
Preparations began the day before where "all hands on deck" was ordered by our youth pastor, John.
We started the day off with a pancake breakfast then opened the doors to the great buys and fun that awaited. The bazaar went from 10:00 to 2:00 with the last hour being a "market place" in the church foyer. Emerging from the rooms, vendors took all the remaining goods to the main area and slashed their prices. It was probably just as much fun watching the exchanges near the end! All in all, it really was a fun day -- an exhausting one, but a great one. We all worked together!
Our sign in the front of the church letting the Clearview neighbourhoodknow that we are having a bazaar. Two weeks earlier we delievered as a youthgroup 700 flyers to also let them know.
This is Esther making the signs for the doors
This is Esther and Samantha working hard making all the sign for in the church.
Everyone that is going to Peru got a t-shirt that says I love... (fill in
the blank, could be Peru, My leaders, God, Dutch food) Here is two guys
getting theres Jonathon is behind the table and James is in front.
This is a picture of Jordan and hannah in the Plant room. All our plants
in this room were donated, so what we sold was profit. Jordan was the head of this room. Hannah worked in the game room and just "jumped" in for the picture.
Approx. 60 baskets for the silent auction were made from things that we
collected from home. These baskets made over $1000.
This is Stephanie, she was a floater and whenever we needed something she would help us out. Along side of her is Rachel a youth leader from the gradeschool kids
