Families,
Karen and I are really excited to give you a chance to meet with us face to face during the October 24th troop meeting. This will be a chance for you to ask us whatever questions you have.
On top of this face to face, we are rolling out our fall fundraiser. Please plan to come and pick up all the information that you need for a successful fundraiser.It is our sincere hope that every family in the troop will have someone attend this meeting time.
Now, some basic information on the fundraiser:
1. It is purely optional
2. There is NO troop buyout required. If you choose to not participate, you do not owe anything.
3. For all who do participate, the troop is going to keep the first $15 of profit. After that, the girls get 100% to use on AHG activities or dues.
4. Each family will be able to sign out McDonald’s coupon books. These sell for $5 each. Please think about how many books you expect to sell. They cost the troop just 25 cents each, but we are not ordering a whole bunch! We can easily get more, but we don’t want to end up with too many left.
5. There will also be fliers for the Abby Candles sales. This has a 50% profit margin!
At 5:45, we are having a very important troop meeting. All girls will be in the Higher Ground room at this time and there will be an important program update given by Sharon for all the girls and parents. This will be followed by a very special awarding of the pins to all of the girls who have earned their PRAY awards. We will be tight fitting in Higher Ground, but we can do it. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and learn with us then celebrate with us.
The evening will end with an invitation to join us at Chick-Fil-A for dinner. You can download and print out the coupons from the following link: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0BzWaOaZk3cBjNzgxZTM2Y2MtODY2ZC00M2UwLWEyYTQtNTkzNDY5MzdiYjJm&hl=en_USPlease Please be sure to pass out coupons to everyone you can think of and invite them to eat at Chick-Fil-A that night. The more people who eat between 4-7, using the coupons, the more money the troop will get. What are we doing with that money? Applying it to the girls' January dues. If you paid in full, you will get a deposit into your family account! Our goal is to make enough for each girl to receive $10 in their accounts for the January dues payments. I know this will help many families.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
Cynthia and Karen
