Read Ayn Rand while you are pregnant, birth a capitalist. Casmir looked forward to today's Lion's Club pancake feed with a great deal of anticipation. She has figured out that while many people donate raffle items, few people buy raffle tickets. Since she has been born there have been a number of individuals who have won multiple prizes in the drawing and this has not escaped her attention or consideration.
She badgered everyone she came in contact with to see if there was some chore she could do to make money. She opted not to shop Fourth Avenue with Savannah, who was down for the weekend. Instead they schemed up every money making ploy you could think of, including enlisting her younger cousins to sell hugs and kisses. What was Lisa thinking when she asked Casmir to babysit?
Both Casmir and Savannah managed to make $10, which gave them 10 raffle tickets each. I purchased nine raffle tickets on my own. They worked the event with great joy and energy, as did the high school kids who were making money to go to Europe later this year.
End result, Casmir won a beautiful handpainted silk scarf from Softly Silk, which will no doubt find its way to my mother since her birthday is coming up soon (valued at $52). Savannah won 4 adult passes to the Alaska Sealife Center ($60), a Healy Hanson fleece (for her mother), and a Stormy Seas jacket (for her grandfather.) She also got to go swimming and to the Sealife Center. I am confident she is going to want to visit again really soon and her folks are going to let her.
What did I win? Yes, of course I won. A chore-less-ter-all test at the local clinic. Bought as useful to me as a lifetime supply of SlimFast. Oh well, I see a re-gifting in my future.
