First-ever CMW parents fundraiser a successWhat will make the wheels on the CMW music camp bus go 'round and 'round this summer? You guessed it, the 240 milk chocolate bars sold and purchased by parents and other supporters in February and March. It was the first fundraiser initiated, managed and successfully completed by CMW families. Go parents! We raised $342.00, thanks to the following salespeople extraordinaire: Candelaria Danicher, Alejandro Flores, Ari Packard, and Rob Rude. Thanks are also due to Phase II students Liam Hopkins and August Packard, who sold candy at Providence College during a CMW Players concert. Go violists! Parent Bill Hopkins took top honors for selling his weight in chocolate to Providence Journal coworkers. Thanks Sports Department–we knew we could count on your sugar habit. Thanks also to CMW friend and supporter Jonne Gomes, fiber artist, freelance musician and conductor at large who sold many candy bars at his Warwick shop, Manmade By Jonne, and at a Providence Adult String Ensemble rehearsal. Finally, a shout-out to parents Jean Descollines and Carol Sullivan, who first suggested that parents conduct a fundraiser. -Linda Daniels, CMW parent |
