Acquire The Fire fundraisers

So the bakesale fundraiser went over quite well. We sold all but 5 items. I'm glad to see the youth working to help pay their way. This is good for them (not to mention for their parents' checkbooks). After all, that's how it works in the real world. Preparation is vital in my opinion. Does this mean they need to work their teenage years away? No. They need to enjoy that freedom, but responsibility and work are always good to have thrown in every now and then for something they want. I believe, in general, todays teens have too much just handed to them. It hasn't been that long since I was in highschool, and I had friends that got everything handed to them as well. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that I have seen the ramifications - ones that include constant phone calls from debt collectors to parents still bailing them out at the age of 25 and beyond. I believe that if we just help to plant the seed of responsibility now, it could continue to grow without them even realizing it's origin 5, 10, 20 years down the road.

STOKED!!!

That's all for now. Did I mention that our youth are amazing? Well, they are.
