After the resounding success of the first bake sale at
Save Mart, Virginia Menezes (Galt High
career resource person) offered to do a bake sale at Raley's store on Twin
Cities Rd. The management at Raley's require permission from the Corporate
office. The time was drawing short and the store just didn't have any
word. Finally, Scott Raley, the store manager, made an executive decision
to allow the bake sale to go on. It was decided to be held the day before
Thanksgiving, when the store would have a lot of traffic. Only two days
remained to organize tables, sellers and recruit bakers.
The East door at Raley's
Crystal Rodriguez (14) and Christina McElroy (14) are the last remaining sales
students after a long day. Notice how little remains for sale with just
over 45 minutes to go. The students did a wonderful job. They
arrived with little experience in selling, but with a bit of training they were
ready to go. Selling baked goods isn't so hard, but these students learned
how to get the potential customer's attention, explain the mission and get
donations......... without selling anything. More money was received from
direct donations than from selling baked goods.
The West door at Raley's
L. to R. Kasandra Valenzuela (16), Jamel Seagraves (17) and Amber Teel
(17) are still smiling after a long day. While most students volunteered
to serve on the morning or afternoon shift, Kasandra spent the entire day
selling and helping out as needed. Amber and Kasandra are both high
powered sellers. Galt better watch out. I watched as one geezer after another
fell "victim" to their charms.
The profit was an amazing $837.07
The next time that you go into Raley's, please thank the management (Scott Raley)
for allowing this sale to go on.
Thank Virginia Menezes for her hard work putting this on.
City Council person, Barbara Payne for arranging the loan of chairs and tables
from Parks and Recs. Thanks to Parks and Recs employees Phong Nguyen and
Lance Brown for helping load and unload the chairs and tables.
