Calendar Drive
By Patty Heien
Every year after the Mark Warren trip, Doug comes back totally relaxed. Then about three days later once again it comes time for the calendar drive, and Doug’s relaxing days are over.
The calendar drive takes place for 6-7 weeks in October and November. For every calendar sold, Mini-School makes four and one half dollars. It’s a great fundraiser but Doug drives us and himself crazy. He doesn’t rest the whole 7 weeks. He sits awake at night thinking of a plan to get us to sell more and more calendars.
The day before Christmas break is the last day of the drive. We end up at Aqua Bowl, bowling for fun and finishing up the drive. But the best thing is the drawing. For every calendar you sell, you get your name thrown into a drawing and if your name gets drawn, you win a cash prize. But besides that incentive, you also feel good about helping out Mini- School.
