	Plant The Seed And See How The Fundraiser Will Grow! Spring time has its own sense of renewal. While plants often seem like the logical item to consider as part of a spring fundraiser, fertilizer, mulch from a logical nursery or other garden products might be a thought. What about providing some lawn clean up services that might be an easy sell and cost you virtually nothing in setting up? Imagine you have a clean up crew with ten per house, and spend ½ hour doing a 'Spring Makeover' charge $50 per house. If you are able to squeeze in 4 hours of work or 8 houses, with two (or more teams), for 2 days that's $1600 in one weekend with virtual no costs other than some time and energy!
