Quick poll, do you buy roses at meets? I am in charge of our booster club and roses are the bain of my existance! The are beautiful, yet fragile. We did them at our meet 3 weeks ago. I was up at 0500 for 3 days and worked 14 hours each day. We processed 550 roses and lost at least 150 due to people messing up. We had several left over. We host the state meet in 10 days. I am dreading doing them again. We have stuffed animals and raffle baskets for each session. It's hard to know how many we really sold. We used money bags and didn't have a cash register. I also wonder if the roses took away from our stuffed animal gram sales. We sold 200 of them at $7. We deliver them to the coaches to hand to the gymnasts on the floor. I'm just worried that people will be disappointed not to have flowers at the state meet.
On a good note, now that we've done them, we can fix some of the problems we encountered. What say you?
