Pink Flamingo Fund Raiser - A Fun Idea!



Tuesday night after supper, I heard a knock on our front door. To my surprise, I was greeted by a dozen or so Pink Flamingos! I quickly called DadOf3 and the kids to the door with a "You've GOT to see this!"

Our local high school band is apparently having a fund raiser, the funniest and funnest fund raiser I have ever been a part of, and they got $25 out of me for the sheer imagination involved. Plus it was 100 degrees outside and they were very enthusiastically "flamingo-ing" people.

The gist of the gag was that the students planted several flamingos in our yard with a card that said "Call this number and we will come and remove these pesky flamingos for you for a donation to our school band!"

I thought it was very clever and I will use it in the future!

Aha, that solves a mystery for me - I was wondering what a whole bunch of pink flamingos were doing in our neighbor's yard a few weeks ago! LOL That's a great, creative idea for a fund-raiser. I love the pics!
