FUN-RAISORS

The troop in the past has raised funds for the troop general fund was part of the registration process. Since the National and Michigan council have increased the registration fees, we have tried to raise funds with the pop can deposits. Although this has been successful, we are looking for additional ways to help out the general fund without raising the registration fees.

We are introducing a new promotion to help out the General fund. I am very excited about this promotion and hope all of you will also be behind this money generated promotion:

For your coffee lovers we are selling Fair Trade coffee, this coffee is distributed by Van Buren coffee. We will have three flavors available: Dark, Medium and Light. (Guatemala, Columbia and Mexico). Also, we will have Columbia one serve cups. We will be selling the coffee from our trading post. Scouts or parents can pick up an order sheet and sell to family, friends and co-workers. All profits will go to the troop General fund.

The cost for the coffee bag will be $14 per bag (ground beans) The one cup pod will sell for $12. This promotion will start in about 2 weeks.

This coffee will go well with our new coffee thermos mugs. ($25)

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A FUN-RAISOR. WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET COFFEE AT A LOWER PRICE AT YOUR LOCAL COFFEE OUTLET. PLEASE HELP OUT THE TROOP SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WITH A SUCCESSUL PROGRAM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

POPCORN SALES:

The troop will be selling popcorn again this year. All profits will go for the scout accounts. This sale will start soon.
