Generosity

Today we experienced the generosity of our community.  Brett is traveling with the marching band to Disneyland over Memorial weekend.  The cost of said trip is over $800.  So, the band boosters have set up fund raising opportunities.  Today, we participated in a site sale of See's Candy Bars at our local Wal-Mart.
Candy bars sold for $2.00 each and $1.00 of that would go into Brett's travel account.  We also had a donation jar set up.  We stood out in the cold for 2 hours from 2-4 and Brett sold 64 candy bars and got $66.00 in donations.  Some people that looked like they had very little to spare - were only too happy to share their memories of band, or middle school and leave a hard earned dollar in the donation jar - or more - or even less.  Every bit of it was precious, and showing my children the generosity of our community was priceless.  Hopefully they will take this as a lesson to always pass their good fortune on, no matter how small the gesture may be.
