We Need Your Help!
The initial numbers are in from our annual popcorn sale are in and it’s looking pretty, well, bleak. We have reached only one-third of our goal!
Our appeal to the Troop 919 families is to think about your friends, families and neighbors you may not have sold popcorn to this year and to reach out to them again and ask them to buy Scout popcorn.
To help in our efforts, we have extended the turn in deadline to the last possible moment. Mr. Gryder will be at the Scout Hut at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 1 to receive your additional orders. This is the absolute last time to submit orders. Mr. Gryder will work late into the night on Monday to enter our orders into the Council’s popcorn order system.
So, in the next couple of days, please think about whom you might call to solicit a popcorn order and get on the phone and sell some popcorn!
Many thanks.
