Flowerbulb Fundraiser...Oh, My!

My sorority, Beta Sigma Phi, is having a fundraiser through van Bourgondien. (They have both a spring and a fall fundraising packet.) Man, am I in trouble! There are many different flowers offered, both annual (glads and dahlias) and perennial (oriental lilies, coneflowers, phlox, and more). It's going to be tough trying to keep my order down to a respectable amount.

I think that I will order the 20 single Freesias mix for $10, and the 3 summer daffodil 'Erlicheer' for $10, but I'll have to quit there, darn it.

I've done this fundraiser many times before, for a variety of different clubs that I belong to. It's a great one because you get 50% as profit, and the bulbs/flowers are guaranteed. Van Bourgondien is also easy to work with, so I don't mind heading up the fundraiser each time.

For our other big fundraiser, Beta Sigma Phi will probably be hosting a 'Taters and Tea' booth at Clinton's Apple & Pork Festival. It brings in about 100,000 people each year and involves the entire city.

If there are any other great fundraising ideas out there, please let me know!
