Subject: This Weekend
Dear Scouts and Parents,
Mr. Livingston our Treasurer, and Chairperson of our Popcorn Sale will be sending out information regarding the status of our Popcorn Sale, to include sales total, etc. Technically this is our last weekend for popcorn selling, however last night at the District Roundtable one of the Scout officials working with the District said he would speak with Council about moving our reconciliation day to after the 30th.
Reconciliation is where we settle up with our sale and turn in all popcorn we have not sold and rectify our bill versus the popcorn we did sell. If reconciliation is put until after the 30th of this month that would give us another weekend opportunity for selling. So far weather has cooperated and despite the weekend camping trip where we suspending selling, the extra weekend could help.
However, regardless of the time, it will not take the place of not having a parents come out to help us. As we said, if parents could give us one to two hours for the sale, we could reach our goal in no time and move on to program activities and other fun things.
This weekend will be dedicated primarily for selling. Mr. Livingston will put out a schedule, but we would like to do some show and deliver sales. This is where we go through selected neighborhoods and the Scouts conduct door to door selling. One target opportunity will be the neighborhood surrounding St. Thomas. There is an eight to twelve block area that could be covered within a couple of hours. We could use three teams of two parents and some Scouts each taking four blocks to cover.
One parent will need to drive a car carrying product and another parent out with the Scouts to help collect money. The other neighborhood would be that surrounding Scout Headquarters at 22nd & Winters Street. This community has been very supportive of Scouts and could render some very good sales. To those of you who have done an extraordinary job already this Popcorn Sale and despite our final total have assured that we will continue to be the top selling unit in all of Triune District THANK YOU!!!
We still have time to reach our goal and prove to others and to ourselves that the only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves.
Yours in Scouting,
J.R. Brockman Scoutmaster Troop 133 609-381-9981 |
