The one with 250 Sugar cookies and 36 vegan brownies

-

As some of you know I was one of the main organizers for a Hillel Fundraiser that ended on Friday. We were raising money for an organization called Save a Child's Heart! Last year I got involved only with the baking but really found myself way more involved with Hillel after that.

Almost all of the fundraising efforts I have been apart of have been for larger organizations like Dana Farber or the Jimmy fund or even special olympics! All three of these have a set up to support individuals who are trying to raise money and enough money to give out free t-shirts and other swag for raising a certain amount or to give to people who have donated.

Save a Child's Heart is not one of those organizations which is a fun challenge for a novice but it has been a fun experience. I'm so thankful for all the support from the Taskforce and Co-leader and Martina. We had so many random balls thrown at us but we made them all work.

This past week we made over 250 sugar cookies with chocolate and sprinkle decoration and 36 vegan/gluten free brownies.

I have no idea how much money we made at this point but I am hoping that we have hit it out of the park and you can be sure I will update this post when I know!

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
