> Convention was exhausting and exhilarating. I hope more of you are able to

> As most of you are aware, the Cincinnati chapter invested $100 in a
> fundraising effort at the national convention. The money given was
> designated as prize money for the Cincy Lucky Lolli Game. The supplies for
> the game were provided by me. 130 flower shaped lollipops in assorted
> colors
> were planted in a box which was wrapped in green poster board and
> surrounded
> by a white picket fence. I called it my flower garden. Buyers paid $1 for
> the lollipop. If the buyer selects a specially marked lollipop then they
> won
> an instant cash prize ranging from $2 to $20. A specially marked lollipop
> was identifiable by its 3 inch long string dangling from the base of the
> lollipop's stick. The cash ranging from $2 to $20 was in unmarked envelopes
> which were fanned out like a deck of playing cards for the winner to
> select.
> They kept whatever was in the envelope. People really enjoyed the game and
> its support grew as the week went on. We sold a total of 158 lollipops.
> This
> number may seem small but it was one of the most popular items at the
> exhibit table. People were really excited about the game and we will
> probably see some copy cats next year. We did not use all of the prize
> money
> so I will be sending the chapter a refund in the amount of $47.

> The Cincinnati chapter also had 10 Louis Braille keychains at the exhibit
> table. These items were a carryover from a fundraising effort many years
> back. These items were sold for $5 each. I am happy to report that all of
> the key chains were sold.

>
> Credit cards were used in the purchase of a couple of keychains. The use of
> credit cards resulted in a very minimal fee which will be deducted from our
> overall profit. Please see the sales summary below for the full numbers.
