A Challenge

I had to run to the office supply store this morning, and while there did my shopping for Chief Wiggles effort. I set a budget for myself and feel good about only going $10.00 over. Now, I have been out of full-time employment for almost a year and do not have money to spare. Yet, I was able to come up with $60.00 to put into this, and I think each of you can as well. Now, for my $60.00 I got the following:

1 ream white paper
12 pack of legal pads, white
3 bundles of college rule filler paper
72 #2 pencils
48 black stick pens
1 15” beveled ruler, wood, metric/English
6 rolls invisible tape
3 pink pearl erasers
3 magic rub erasers
6 individual pencil sharpeners
1 set of 50 Crayola coloured pencils
5 boxes of white chalk
2 boxes of coloured chalk
6 folding rulers (checkout counter special)

Now, I know that not everyone is going to put a crowbar in it like I did, so here are some options for different amounts:

$5.00
36 #2 pencils

$10.00
36 #2 pencils
1 bundle of college rule filler paper
1 individual pencil sharpener
2 boxes of white chalk

$20.00
36 #2 pencils
1 bundle of college rule filler paper
1 individual pencil sharpener
2 boxes of white chalk
1 set of 50 Crayola coloured pencils
1 15” beveled ruler, wood, metric/English

$30.00
36 #2 pencils
1 bundle of college rule filler paper
1 individual pencil sharpener
2 boxes of white chalk
1 set of 50 Crayola coloured pencils
1 15” beveled ruler, wood, metric/English
1 ream white paper
48 black stick pens

Now, if I can do $60.00 in my circumstances, you can do something. So get out there, go buy some supplies, and get them to:

Chief Wiggles
CPA-C2, Debriefer
APO AE 09335


As a challenge to other blogs, I am calling a local TV station about this, and am going to issue a personal challenge to groups and businesses with whom I am involved. I double dare you to do the same.

What gets me is that everyone seems to be collecting school supplies and I thought it was a toy drive? I have been looking for a bunch of Superballs™. Those things would bounce on sand, I am almost sure.
