Exactly, ladygreek. I know that Cotillons are huge fundraisers for chapters, but all too often, that's the main focus, and the programs for the girls are secondary. I know that a lot of girls get business sponsors and raise tens of thousand of dollars, and in mine, even the winner only recieved 40% of that money back. The rest of us recived 30%, and you had to raise at least 2,500 to get
anything back at all! I know I said from the beginning that fundraising to me was secondary, so I did the bare minimun to get something back, and told my family not to send too much for the Cotillion, but send ME checks if they wanted to help me out. I even made up little ad books of my own to say thanks.
