Bottle Drive!!

Bright and early on the morning of January 8th, the Belize team plus some helpers worked for hours to collect and sort bottles as a fundraiser for our trip to Belize.  The kids (and adults!) worked very hard going door-to-door in the snow, rousing people from their Saturday morning lazing, to ask for bottles.  We were organized into teams, who each had different neighbourhoods to cover.  One team stayed at the bottle depot to start sorting all the bottles, which turned out to be a long, difficult and dirty job!  We were told that we would get an extra 10% of everything we raised if we sorted our own bottles, so we did.  Towards the end it took the whole team to finish this huge job!  Thanks to all who participated for their hard work.  We made over $450 and still have some bottles coming in! 
Many thanks to those who supported this fundraiser by bringing in bottles.  We are that much closer to getting to Belize!!
Stay tuned for photos from the Chili Cook-Off!
