What if we did something different this time, and actually... Did a fundraiser?
Would anyone be interested in selling stuff? It's not like you have to go door to door: just bring samples to work/school and take orders. What about a bingo? We never did one 'cause we needed an official electrical estimate before. Do we have one now? What about a social? Holding one at a community centre maximizes profit, but takes lots of volunteers. Holding one at a bar let's you make money from the tickets sold (not drinks), but utterly minimizes the work required.
