[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that I ABSOLUTELY HATE this!!!!!  I avoid that interesection on the weekend.  Is there not a more effective way to fundraise than the car wash/standing in the middle of the intersection to get donations?  Surely I must not be the only resident who hates this.[/quote]

You might not be the only one, but I don't mind it one bit.  They can't depend on charity auctions like the Potomac kids, and I like to see the high school kids willing to get out into the community.  [/quote]

As a Mclean resident, I also hate this but for a different reason.  It is for the safety of those students.  That intersection is very busy on weekends.

Why not do the fund raising at Giant Food, Starbucks and Chesapeake bagel?  It is much safer there.  I don't think the folks in Mclean need these students to wash my car.  Bring some of your best violinists, cellists, flutes students to those places and simply play and you will get lot of donations in no time.  Just simply ask for donations and people in Mclean are very generous to dole out $$$. [/quote]

The band holds fundraisers at the places you mention.  Sports teams tend to have car washes near gas stations that have agreed they can wash cars there.

They don't usually, and have no need to, stand in the intersections.  They are usually on the sidewalks near the intersections, where they pose no danger to themselves or to you.     [/quote]
