Science nerds help the arts through love of corn syrup
Several weeks ago, the newly formed local Art Boosters organization (formed to raise money, awareness, support, etc., for the arts in the local school system) had a cool fund raising event with lots of live performances, games, and the opportunity for me to buy nifty old vinyl to play on my nifty new turntable. As part of that someone donated a ton of lollipop’s to sell, and they ended up with quite a few leftovers (they donated a lot).
WeatherGirl got all clever and decided to continue to raise money by engaging computer science students’ legendary fondness for corn syrup. A big bag was placed in the CSci labs with a cup and a sign explaining the deal, and sure enough she sold out the whole lot speedy quick. On a completely honor system, she/they raised $26.45, and she was only short a nickle.
Pretty cool, eh?
