Raising money for the art club
Our university art club is raising money for our activities this year. We need money for trips to museums. We usually go
to art museums four times a year. We choose a different museum each time, and we see a lot of different kinds of art.
Its really interesting.
Today is one of our big fundraising days. Members of our club are doing different things to raise money. The
first-year students are washing cars in the park downtown. People pay us ten dollars for each car. Its nice and sunny
today, so theyre having fun!
The second-year students are selling muffins, brownies, and cookies in the student center at the university. Cookies and
brownies are two dollars each, and muffins are three dollars. Oh, and theyre selling coffee, too. I think it only costs one
dollar.
Third-year and fourth-year students are raising money in the park, too. Theyre drawing pictures of people. It only takes
about fifteen minutes to draw a persons picture. For twenty dollars, you can have a black-and-white picture. Or for
twenty-five dollars, you can get a picture in color.
We usually raise about six hundred dollars on our fundraising day. Raising money is hard work, but its fun, too.

1 Its raining and windy today. T F
