I support the clubs and activities that my daughter is involved with. Kim - I agree, I wouldn’t want to pay a flat fee either. I support the clubs and activities that my daughter is involved with.

It's nice to know that regular shopping allows money to go back into the community/schools. Grace - I think I’ve seen other stores that do something similar.

My daughter has had her full share of fund raising for school and clubs. Unfortunately, she's got 6 more years of school before I think I'll see an end to it.

And although this is something I don't enjoy doing. It was for something that she was involved in so I didn't mind too much. I would not like paying a flat fee for all programs that the school is involved in as my kids don't belong to all programs. I like having the choice to participate or not. <em>Kim's last blog post..<a href='http://life-with-kim.com/2008/04/23/musical-festival-huge-success/' rel="nofollow">Musical Festival– Huge Success!</a></em> We just went door to door for my daughter’s fiddle-a-thon.

Our kids always had the candy bars and the magazine subscriptions. At least the candy bars were familiar brands, so their friends always bought from them. Just the same, I used to cringe everytime the term "fundraiser" came up. <em>Jennifer Robin's last blog post..<a href='http://robinswoods.blogspot.com/2008/04/wordless-wednesday_23.html' rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday</a></em> Boy, am I glad we’re done with that.
