The teams are still working on fundraising for their global finals trip, we are still several thousand dollars short of our goal. We would like to thank Holub's, Pizza Ranch, SUDSational Auto Wash, the American Legion, and Culver's for their help with our fundraising. We still have more to do, but we appreciate the donations and contributions. Hat Day's at both Ames Middle School and Meeker were also great and we appreciate the enthusiasm at the schools.
One half of the proceeds from the Pizza Ranch fundraiser was donated to the Maple Valley-Anthon-Otho team that qualified for the Global Finals and drove home from the state tournament into a tornado at Mapleton. Pin trading is big at the Global Finals and the participants all need pin trading mats to put their pins on. The Ames teams decided to donate pin mats for the Maple Valley team and we want to thank the Quilting Connection for their help for a design for the pins mats and Justin's mom, Sabrina for sewing the pin mats for AMS and Mapleton. We will present them to Maple Valley on Wednesday in Knoxville, TN. More about pin trading and our excellent pin mats in another post.
Thanks for all your support.
