SITSS (School IT Systems Support), a team within the Hertfordshire County Council Childrens Services, held their party today before the half term break started.
Anna Hearn, who organised the event sent the following to give us the flavour of their party:
"£240.00 raised isn’t that great! I was worried before today that I wouldn’t get enough cake brought in. Then when all the cakes arrived in this morning, I was worried that we would be left with loads at the end of the day – How wrong can one person be! By 9.30 we had people queuing up to get cake! Even one team donating £20.00 to take a tray of 20 cakes back for their team meeting later. We asked for a £1.00 minimum donation per slice and were not short of takers, by 11.30 the stock was seriously depleted and I had £150 in the pot. We now have £240 in the pot with just a few lonely looking slices of cake left. I never thought I would hear anyone on the SITSS team say that they could not possibly eat another slice of cake – well, saying that I have just managed to, but it was only my second piece today. It’s been great fun and I think we may very well have to do it again!"
Sounds like they had great fun, the cakes look scrummy, lots of people got together and a lot of money was raised, in our books that is a very good days work and brilliant team work.
Thank you so much to everyone, Anna for organising, everyone who baked and donated cakes and everyone who came along and bought cakes.
A great effort and an inspiration for anyone who is still thinking about running a work place Cake Time Party, it does work and it can be done without too much work for one person.
