Thanks for the feedback on the Boston trip, it looks like there is lot's of interest and our trip is a go! There have been a few questions that have come up since posting the first information and we are going to try to shed some light on them. We will be discussing the trip in more detail at the Mom's Meeting on Monday June 7th. Most people have asked about an estimated cost, we have tried to break it down for you here:
Adult Child
Go Boston Card $90.00 $55.00
Church Donation $2.00/night $2.00/night
"T" Transportation $2.00/ride x7 (est) <11 FREE
>12 $0.85
Other things to take into consideration:
Food - plan on 2 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners (one of which may be at Quincy Market for $9/person)
Shopping/Souvenirs
Gas/Tolls
The majority of people are interested in fund raising. After some research we have picked a couple that will give us the biggest bang for our buck.
Pizza Hut Card: We would sell coupon cards offering 6 "FREE Medium Pizza with the purchase of a Large" AND 6 "$5 off any purchase of $20 or more" / no expiration. The card costs us $4 and we sell them for $10 and make a $6 profit/card. A child that sells 11 card will have paid for their entire trip minus food.
Yard Sale/Bake Sale/Car Wash: Each family will get their own spot to sell what ever they would like including yard sale stuff, fresh veggies from your garden, eggs, brownies, cookies, crafts, plants, toys, or anything they want to get rid of. :) Plus a car wash.
If anyone has any other great fund raising ideas please feel free to share.
