making dough

Jake worked really hard and really long this past weekend making pizza dough to raise dough for his Eagle Scout project.  Thanks to Anne Maximo and her nephew, Lucas Ribaldi, it was a lot more fun and went much faster.  And thanks to many generous donors, Jake raised more than he expected!!

Steve, Lucas, and Jake had just finished delivering all the dough Saturday night--about 30 minutes before the power went out!!  Such crazy timing.  Lucikly, the power was back on by Sunday afternoon so hopefully nobody lost their dough.

Jake has been trying to raise money for a scoreboard at Tibbetts Field.  The scoreboard itself is $4,000, which is a ridiculous amount of money to raise.  Then the City came back and said it will cost another $2000 to power it.  Even crazier!!  We are still hoping to convince the City they need to pay for the electricity.  In an attempt to do this, Jake wrote the following email to his contact, Mr. Hoover.

It made me laugh, but we couldn't exactly send it that way.  I helped him make some minor changes and then we sent it off.  So far, the City still says they can't pay the extra $2000, but we are still hoping for a way.  Jake is more than half way to the price of the scoreboard!
