Mattresses for Sale!

            A Greeley resident sought permission from the city council on the Oct. 16 meeting, to use signs advertising a fundraiser to support her son’s varsity baseball team.

            The signs are only permitted on the grounds of the sale, according to the city. But Sherrie Peif thinks that that the city would allow her permission to use the signs on commercial intersections, even though the council did not give her an exact answer at the meeting.

            “I think that it’s an interpretation of one person and I don’t think the city council will take away fundraising from a non-profit school fundraiser,” she said. “Funding education today is a hot topic, and I can’t imagine a city council anywhere that would limit a parent’s ability to help fund the ‘extras’ of school such and extra-curricular stuff.”   

            And these extras, Peif explains, are expenses used for tournaments and traveling for not only the University High School Bulldogs baseball team, but for the school’s cheer leading team as well.

            The parents’ of these teams, like Peif, have organized for a mattress sale in the school’s gymnasium through a company in Estes Park called Front Range Unique Fundraising, LLC ,to help pay for the teams’ expenses on Nov. 10.

            Kane Ware, a Greeley resident, also supports Peif’s call to action for the advertising of the fundraiser.           

            “It promotes the school and the usage of the signs seems harmless,” said Ware, a soldier in U.S. Army Reserves.
