SCOUTS & PARENTS:
Are you READY to sell some POPCORN?! Sale starts THIS THURSDAY - 10/1/09!
Do you know WHAT'S NEW FOR 2009 ?!
Hopefully, you got a TRAIL'S END POPCORN SALE PACKET in the mail containing ORDER FORMS and PRODUCT INFO -- OR -- you were at the MEETING this week and picked one up! (If you didn't, you'll need to COME BY CYNTHIA MCGUINNESS' house and pick one up from the file box. Address & directions are at the end of this email.)
PLEASE DISREGARD THE LEVEL PRIZE INFO in the Trail's End mailer. Our level prize program is SO much better!! You can EARN prizes based on your sales level -and- ONCE YOU REACH $350 IN SALES, YOU WILL BE ENTERED IN WEEKLY TROOP PRIZE DRAWINGS. The more you sell after that, the more chances you get in the drawings. The prizes in the weekly drawings are FABULOUS, but you need to be AT THE MEETINGS to actually win! Last year, someone's name was drawn for $160, interior frame, uber-light, adjustable backpack, but he wasn't there. My son's name was drawn next, and he's been putting it to use ever since.
**See the TROOP POPCORN INFO FORM for more details on the PRIZE PACKAGE !!**
TAKE A LOOK at the Trail's End packet! Get familiar w/ the PRODUCTS and ((NEW this year)) read up on how to COLLECT DONATIONS for the Scouts and/or Military Troops. Yep, people who don't want to buy popcorn for themselves can still support Scouting either directly or by BUYING POPCORN FOR THE TROOPS! Scouts get FULL CREDIT towards earning prizes for donations & military gifts... but the donors will need YOU to give them a RECEIPT! The file containing the receipt form is attached to this email, and you can print as many as you need.
SET A SALES GOAL! Scouts have been asked to reach AT LEAST $350 in total popcorn sales & donations. (Re-read that prize package info!)
>>>Our Troop's Total Goal is $30,000!<<<
PUT ON YOUR CLASS A UNIFORM & GO! Remember all the safety rules (use the buddy system, don't go inside houses, look both ways, don't sit down with your pen in your back pocket, etc...) and remember to SPEAK UP about our great Scouting program and TASTY products! >>Idea: keep your sales sheets every year & take them with you when you sell! Help people remember what they got last year & suggest they buy extra!
~~BLITZ WEEK INFO~~ This year, you have over a WEEK to fill up a sheet and earn the BLITZ PRIZE! Choose between a "Bow & Mallow" and a Suunto A-30 compass. See Trail's End Mailer for picture & details on this as well as how to earn tickets to the WFU Sports Spectacular plus SCHOLARSHIP info.
TURN IN ANY CASH/CHECKS YOU COLLECT EACH WEEK to Mr. Spiegelman. Technically, you're not supposed to collect payment for popcorn orders until delivery, but sometimes people insist. That's OK - if they insist, take their money (or better yet, their CHECK made out to TROOP 934) and check off their order as "PD" in the last column on the order form. If they give you a donation, don't forget to give them a receipt & note the gift details on the portion of the form you keep. PARENTS - you may need to show your Scout how to do this part. If you need more info on this, please contact me & I'll walk you through it.
* * FORMS-YOU-NEED * *
** Please PRINT & KEEP this email & the attachments. **
ADDITIONAL COPIES OF SALES FORMS & RECEIPTS will be available in a file box in my driveway by the garage.
1. 2009 TROOP POPCORN CALENDAR - get it done on time!

(Scouts: If you have NOT turned one of these in, please print 2 copies & turn 1 in! We need your goals!)
3. RECEIPT FORMS - for donations. It may help to pre-clip these at least part-way before you head out.
I am one of a few people helping Steve Kelley with the sale this year. More help will be needed as the sale progresses, especially when that truckload of popcorn rolls in! Please let Steve, Cathy Watkins-Smith or me know if you can help in any way.
Thanks & best wishes for a successful sale!
