This dialogue is about trying to raise money – trying to get money – for some activity at your school. Let’s get started.
Valerie: What’s this?
A.J.: It’s a note from Rachel’s school. It’s about the next fundraiser.
Valerie: Oh no, not another one. What is it this time – a raffle, car wash, or spaghetti dinner?
A.J.: It’s none of those things. It’s a combination bake sale and craft sale. Parents are supposed to donate baked goods and handmade items.
