COOKIE CAMPAIGN prematurely ended, 4 days early

After a grueling week of trying to offer free hugs and carefully designed and packaged chocolate chip cookies to passers-by for a small fee of $1, the fundraiser and attempted marketing/recruitment campaign was forced to end prematurely today.

But all was not lost.

160 cookies were donated to Calgary's Drop-in & Rehab Centre, which were not only well received by the volunteers as well as the homeless that sought shelter there, but it made us feel very good about ourselves for doing so. In the end, we were happy to be able to share our baking with people who actually appreciated the great food and good gesture. Admittedly, we couldn't get around to hugging each person that got a cookie, as some were fast asleep on the stairwell, but at least the cookies went to a good cause.

Over the past few days, we've been working hard on our COOKIE CAMPAIGN, held in Calgary, due to continue running until next Wednesday.

The mission is simple: FUNDRAISING!!! Oh, and getting our name out there. We're not gonna lie - this is how we're planning to pay for our interns' food this summer!

Except, as usual, the first few days have been rather slow. Still, we haven't given up yet! We've been very lucky in getting a lot of help from our ever-growing Super Awesome Fundraising Cookie Sales Team, some of whom are even planning to stick around as our Incredible Interns, this year. We're very grateful.

So, who knows? Maybe our cookie sales will shoot through the roof, by the end of the week. (We can only hope.) In the meantime, there is still so so so much to do. It doesn't stop, back here in the nyummm! kitchen.

A couple days ago, we tweeted a challenge, "how many ways can you scramble an egg?" Lana sent us a video of her friend, Ralph, in the kitchen. This is what they came up with.
