Sweet sales
A few days ago I posted our recipe for persuasion, along with an announcement about our HOLEY KNIT! knitting group’s upcoming bake sale to benefit Heifer International. Now I’m back to tell you that the sale was a HOLEY SUCCESS! We raised $300 in the first hour, thanks to our co-workers’ generosity! We were quite excited. The donation wouldn’t be enough to buy a $480 Knitter’s Gift Basket, but it would buy several shares of a basket, which is pretty darn good.
And then the managers stepped in. In a burst of holiday spirit, the MarketSense management team offered to buy out the remaining baked goods so we would meet our goal — and then some! We ended up donating more than $550!
You might think I’m just sucking up here by highlighting their contribution in this post — but the point is that the managers saw an opportunity to help, and they did. Not only will their donation help brighten the future for some needy families, but it demonstrates their support for our group’s efforts. And you can’t put a price on unsolicited aid and encouragement.
Please look for opportunities to show your support for your team this holiday season. It will mean a lot to them!
