If we want the kids to run in meets that are actually run well (proper officials with the right equipment) and with good competition you have to do it on weekends. The district won't provide transportation for those meets so you have to find parents willing to drive or hope the kids have a car so you can get to the meets. Then you have to pay the entry fees. Besides that you probably need warm up or uniforms more than every 5 years, so those need to be purchased. Coin drops, bake sales, etc, that's what needs to be done.
Were talking about the scammers at the Art Museum who stand in the middle of the street and call you a f -ing white pussy and give you the finger and laugh if you don't hand over some money. I'm sure your fund drive is legitimate but these little ____ are not. Either way, nobody should be allowed to stand in the middle of the road begging money....let the parents pay for their own kid and leave everybody else alone please.
