POP CANS, BOTTLES FUNDRAISER

The troop to keep the cost of registration fees as past years is to collect pop cans and plastic bottles and glass bottles to raise funds for the troop general fund.  Your support is really appreciated. Ask neighbors and friends for their collections.  If someone needs to have the pop cans or bottles picked up let me know.  Scouts who return bottles and cans to the store for deposit will receive 30% of the value of the pop cans they turned in.  The bin for collections is behind the yellow trailer at the church.
