It's 7:30 AM and it's mayhem in our building already! Well, not quite, but this is our huge annual Sandwich Caper week! Every year (since forever), the teens of the Bangor corps have been doing a Sandwich Caper fundraiser. It raises enough money to send them all to Youth Councils and any extra (usually plenty), goes into their program fund (which is used for programs, world services and such throughout the year).
In the last few weeks, the teens have been going all throughout the area dropping off sandwich orders to local businesses and offices (at $3 per sandwich, it's a steal). They are later collected and supplies are purchased. Then for 2 days, we all make sandwiches (heroes, hoagies, wedges, subs- whatever you want to call them!) and have them all delivered before lunch each day. It's a huge project! And it's great to see how it's organized and watch everyone scurrying around.
This year's traditional faux pas? The bakery that makes our rolls for us each year, forgot to make our rolls for yesterday! So that's twice as much work for us today as we get people cutting rolls as well as making sandiches all at once! I gave Mary MacKay a big hug and helped her get control of her breathing- she'll make it- she always does! Now if we can only keep Nick from throwing tuna on the basketball backboard.
So the corps will be humming with activity for the next 2 days! And I was reminded yesterday, of the new "tradition" I started for the guys- a sleepover (which makes sure they're all here by 7:30 AM Friday)! What was I thinking when I came up with that? I guess this falls in the same category as forgetting about painting rooms! {sigh} So it's X-Box and hide-n-go-seek all night for me!
Well, I've got to go . . . bread needs to be cut; sandwiches need to be made! If you're in the area, I've got an idea for lunch for you!
