All the older kids were invited. This gave them a GOAL to work towards during the last weeks of the school year.
The club recovered costs by charging 3 Euro entry. And packed the venue for both shows.

If you’re involved with amateur sport, sooner or later you’ll have to organize a bottle drive.
It took me 50yrs to find the BEST strategy.
1. Pick-up trucks with just 2-3 kids each
2. Drive to the most affluent (alcoholic) neighbourhood possible
3. Cruise slowly until you see an open, cluttered garage
You know somebody is home.
If I’m driving, there’s an additional step …
4. Stop only if the man of the house is close to the garage.
(Wives are prone to tell even the cutest kids that they are “saving the bottles” for someone. Husbands always say, “Take everything. Right now.”)
Saturday morning is by far the best time.
I’ve filled pick-ups in only 6-7 stops!
Do YOU have a strategy? … If so, leave a comment.
