 Emily, are you willing to read the situation for us? Yes. The Forest 4-H club decided to have a fundraiser turn money to support the club's community pride project of Butterfly Garden. The club needs $200 to purchase plants and flowers. A committee has been assigned the task of suggesting a fundraiser plan to the club. The club would like the fundraiser effort to be simple, short-term, require minimal money to operate and involve club members of all ages. What should the committee recommend to the club? Is anybody willing to make a grid for this problem? I volunteer to make the decision to make a grid. Thank you, Gretchen. Does anybody see any alternatives in this situation? I thought that we could do like a car wash. Do you see any other alternatives? I was thinking like a bake sale. Okay. Kayla, do you see any alternatives? Some could be like a fruit sale, a magazine sale, or a rummage sale. Does anybody have any other alternatives? Possibilities? No? Okay. What are some criteria to this situation or problem? Well, it would have to be simple and short-term. Okay. The problem also states that it needs to require minimal money to operate and be able to involve club members of all ages. Gretchen, have you finished creating the grid? Yes. Okay. Let's go through all of our alternatives. Kayla, would you mind going through the alternative car wash? All right. So the car wash offers you that being pretty simple because you can get everyone involved and we have most of the stuff to do it. I have any feelings on that. How many agree with you? I also see it being pretty short-term because it would only take about a day and everyone just could get together and we could raise quite a bit of money doing that. Yeah. That sounds good. All right. And require minimal money to operate. Yes, because we have most of the supplies and it just doesn't take as much to where it works together. The only cost I could see being would be like rags or something like that. It's pretty minimal. And involve club members of all ages. We do have some younger ones that might not be able to do most parts of this project but we could stick them on like wash and tire or something like that. That's a good idea. Does anybody see any issues? One issue could be that the weather has to be nice for a car wash to operate. You can't really do a car wash in the winter. Okay. So I'm putting the car wash as simple short-term minimal money to operate and involve members of all ages. They're all yeses. Yeah. All right. And our next option was the bake sale. Being simple, I would say yes because we could have each person bring either two items or something like that and everyone can contribute in some way or another. The one issue could be coming up is allergies but a simple solution would just making sure you write on a label or a sticker on your food items that this contains dairy or gluten or peanuts. Another thing is it would have to be short-term and again with that it would only be about a day or like a couple hours or so and we could have people come in and customers for that. So I think that would be a pretty short-term project to do. Does everyone agree with that? Yeah. All right. So there's a number of things that are minimal money to operate. Some people might not be able to afford to bake something but it's generally something everyone can contribute to in some way or another. Melissa, you bake a lot. Do you think it costs a lot of money to do a big sale? Depending on what items you make. Yes. There's also cheaper baked goods you can make so it should be minimal to operate. Okay. And then also involving club members of all ages. I know that a lot of younger kids like to help with things like that. They like baking, things like that. So I'm sure we can get everyone to help. Okay. So we're putting bake sale as a yes at a simple, yes at a short-term, yes it has minimal money to operate and yes it involves members of all ages. Correct? Correct. So for the fruit sale, for it being simple, you'd want to get fresh fruit and it's kind of hard to do that since where we live and you don't want to spoil or get rotten. So I say it'd be like, you wouldn't be able to do that. And then for short-term, well we'd probably have to order our fruit. So that would probably take some time away from it so it probably would take a bit longer and then it requires minimal money to operate. It depends so much like you have to pay for your baskets if you get fruit baskets or something. And then involve club members of all ages it probably could involve everyone. Okay. Does anybody see any issues with the fruit sale? Some people don't pick up the fruit right away and you have to be in ownership of it it can spoil and go bad. That's a very good point. So don't think about that. Any other issues? So we're doing it's not simple, it's not short-term. We do not have minimal money to operate but yes it involves all members of all ages. Correct. That's what we're doing. Emily, can you read about the magazine sale? Yeah. I think it's not really simple and short-term because you have to go door-to-door and sell magazines or you have to set up an event and sell tickets or something like that at a door and it requires minimal money to operate because if you do just go door-to-door you can use your feet. And involves all members of the club because little kids and other kids can sell magazines. So on the minimal money to operate you don't get 100% profit so that could also be another negative for that. For the symbol maybe not everyone wants magazines because they already have enough at home. So it is not simple, not short-term but yes it's minimal money to operate and it involves members of all ages. Seeing as we only have one minute left Kaylee would you like to go through the the remage sale really quickly? I would say that the remage sale isn't that simple because some people can't really bring around items but it would be pretty short-term because people could bring their stuff at one day and sell it pretty fast and it would require minimal money to operate because it would just be stuff playing around that people had and you can be able to involve club members of all ages because younger ones could go around to help. I agree with that. So what do you guys want to go with then? I would say the remage sale is the most long-term. The situation for our problem was the Forest 4-H club decided to have fundraiser to earn money to support the club's community pride project a butterfly garden and the club needs $200 to purchase plants and flowers. So for some of our alternatives we came up with like a car wash, a big sale. Other alternatives were a fruit sale a magazine sale or a remage sale. They also listed some criteria that we had to have and one was it being simple and also being short-term. They also needed to require minimal money to operate and be able to involve all members of all ages. We made a decision making grid using the alternatives and the criteria and used check marks if it was positive or X's if it was negative and we had a tie between the car wash and the big sale. As a group we ultimately decided to use the big sale option that was easy to do. Short-term required a minimal amount of money and everybody was able to participate in.
