When GKT started to think about fundraising, my Mom sent out a bunch of emails to local business around the greater Keene area, in hopes that they would consider supporting our club. Megan at Hannah Grimes (the local artisan shop on Main St. in Keene) emailed saying she and the store would love to host a fundraiser. So we met with her and worked out when the fundraiser would be and what products we should sell. Green Keene Teens ended making Woolly Eggs, bunnies, and baskets for the event, Saturday the 4th of April. We also sold our homemade laundry soap, Greenciles, and baked goods.



Before the sale, Megan and Jennifer from Hannah Grimes met with Laura, Alishia, and me, to talk about writing up a press release that would go in their newsletter and maybe even the paper informing the readers about the club and the sale. Laura and Alishia wrote a really great press release. And the day of the sale came fast.

The sale started at about 11:30 on that Saturday morning. The team was prepared for the rainy weather, setting up with a table under an umbrella. The covered table was greatly appreciated when it started to pour! But the girls stayed positive about selling, and I believe we sold at least $100 worth of goods. It ended up being a good day as the remaining members snuggled together as we tried to get rid of our cookies.



For the remainder of the days leading up to Easter, Woolly Eggs, bunnies and baskets were sold at the store. I’m very glad Hannah Grimes has opened their doors to Green Keene Teens. We appreciate all the support they have given us thus far! Please visit the Hannah Grimes website and store for great gift ideas and even GKT products that might be there in the future!
