Bizarre Bazaar raise $430 for Project Tembo

The 4th annual Bizarre Bazaar: What an incredible success!


Tween Club raised $330 through a variety of activities including: a fantastic bake sale, garage sale, bouncy castle, apple bobbing, bean toss and a how-many-jelly-beans-in-the-jar guessing contest!

One of our Tween Clubbers won jelly-bean guessing contest. Sadie guessed 783 and there were 782 beans in the jar. Enjoy those jelly beans, Sadie!

We also received a generous donation of $100 from one of our Tween Club parents, Bev Cleary, which pushed our total raised to $430.

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work on Saturday!

Asking Questions and Filling Buckets

The focus of April's meetings was all about questions, goals and doing your part to make others feel good. Shauna posed several questions to the girls and just let them run with things. In the younger meeting, the girls were in prime form to chat.

I want to be ________ because _______.

For the purposes of this blog I will just outline some of the things they want to be without the because;
an olympic diver, equestrian rider, World Wildlife Federation worker, help animas. professional soccer trainer, a teacher, marine specialist, published writer, a TV host, a dance teacher, a pinao player, a synchro teacher, to make a move, etc.

As we discussed our upcoming event, the Bizarre Bazaar, the girls talked about the charities they were interested in supporting. The ranged from water issues, animals, disease and finally girls in third world cultures. The last was the topic of most interest to our girls. They are hoping to sponsor a young girls education. We are presently doing some research to find the right charity.

Shauna also read the girls a pictures book called, "Have you filled Your Bucket Today?" It was a simple but wonderful story about how everyone has an invisible bucket filled with good feels and how important it is to fill others buckets. By doing so, we will out own. I have used the analogy at last 6 times with Erin since our meeting. I would recommend it even if you think they are too young for pictures books.
