Leaf Raking 2011!!!!

So every year the Eastern Exiles have raked leaves in order to raise funds for our team. We have to raise money because, unlike sports teams we do not have a budge through the school. We have to raise our own money in order to participate in tournaments. Tournaments, I have only recently found out, are very costly. Each team must pay from around $45-$70. We also have to pay for transportation to and from each tournament. Knowing this we must work our butts off in hopes of raising enough money for the entire year. Luckily, with great Exile team members leaf raking can actually be a lot of fun! It is tons of hard work, but we do what's necessary. We raked leaves for two days Saturday from about 9:30am-5:00pm and Sunday for about the same amount. We rake leaves for great families, as an reward not only did they give us cash, but they gave us twixes!! Now that's a great reward we can personally get our hands on. That was a treat! I now as I am sure we all as a team have a greater love for twixes than we once have had.

Lucky for us Radnor township is quite wealthy so they were able to pay us well. However, this also meant that the members of this lovely community also had huge yards. This is why it requires so much time for us to move one house to another. I personally was unable to help out today, Sunday, but I do know on Saturday we raked leaves for about four different houses or so. In a single day we were able to raise $1,000, I know insane right?! I couldn't believe it either, but after that day I realized we definitely worked for it.... That's for sure.... Until next year leaf raking, until next year...
