If that is the way they are going to be they might as well try some sort of cookie
sale fundraiser like Girl Guide cookies. I used to bake stuff for the bake sale
at my son's school. Then I found out that the were selling the stuff for less than
it cost me to make them. Nuts to that. All I was doing was providing someone with
cheap baked goods and the school was getting the money.
