In case you need them, attached are order forms for coffee and wreaths that
I downloaded from the Council web site.  I believe the wreath offerings are
identical to last year's.

Importance: High

 

Pack 163,

 

Please read this email carefully.  There is a lot of information you need to
know.

This is our only fund raiser for the year, so we need to follow the Cub
Scout Motto and "Do Your Best!"

The pack portion of the money raised pays for all the awards, pinewood derby
cars, special events, and reducing the cost of activities and campouts for
the scouts.

Each den also receives money from the pack to offset the cost of den
activity and supplies.

The more money we raise, we can use to lower event fees, and have more
events!

 

First day you can start selling: Saturday, September 22nd.

Popcorn and forms pickup at the Landquist's house: Sunday, September 23rd.
(623 Elk LN) If you cannot make this date, you must contact me to arrange a
different time!

Last day you can sell: Saturday, October 20th.

All money and sheets due: Sunday, October 21st. 

Pickup of Coffee, Wreaths and any remaining Popcorn: Sunday, November 18th.

 

All checks must be made out to: Pack 163

 

** Scouts MUST wear their uniform while selling AND MUST be accompanied by
an adult

**I will have extra popcorn, and can order more at any time, so if you need
more let me know!

 

The goal for each scout is to sell at least $250 worth of product (popcorn,
wreaths, coffee)

.         Each scout that meets or exceeds the goal will have his
registration fee for 2013 covered.

.         If a scout does sell product, but does not meet the goal, his
registration fee for 2013 will be prorated.

.         Any scout that does not sell product will need to pay the 2013
registration fee at the December Pack meeting.

.         The registration fee for 2013 is $100.

.         Any cash donations you receive will be counted in your product
sales total!

 

For every $50 of product sold over $250, each scout will earn $10 for his
"Scout Account"

Example 1: Sold $300 of product = Registration fee covered and $10 in your
Scout Account

Example 2: Sold $750 of product = Registration fee covered and $100 in your
Scout Account

**Scout Account money can be used for any Cub Scout activity, including
campouts, Pack and Den activities.

 

Pie in the Leader's Face (December pack meeting): If you meet the $250 goal,
you get to throw a whipped cream pie in the face of the leader of your
choice, AND for every $50 sold over the $250 you get to throw another pie!

 

We are participating in the Council sponsored Prize program.  You will get a
sheet of the prizes and sales levels when you pick up your popcorn.

Make sure you write your prize choice(s) on the popcorn order form before
turning it in.

Important Note:  Prizes are based only on the Popcorn sales. (It does not
include sale of coffee or wreaths)

 

Here is a list of the other incentives you could earn:

.         The scout with the highest sales (all products combined) in the
pack will receive a custom embroidered hat

.         The den with the highest average sales per scout (all products
combined) will have their den added to the pack traveling trophy

.         Scouts that fill one complete popcorn order form (25 or more
customers) or a wreath or coffee order form will receive a free voucher for
two $29 Milwaukee Bucks Tickets to a special Scout night in December -
January 2012-2013! (Parent ticket must be purchased at a discounted rate)

.         The top sellers in our district will have their names put in a
drawing for win 4 lower level Bucks tickets for select games and a chance
for the scout to stand in the "High Five Tunnel" before or after the game.

.         For every 5-Way Chocolate Lovers Tin sold, the seller's name gets
put into a drawing for an Apple iPad 2 (4 iPads will be raffled)

.         The top sellers in our district for popcorn will be entered into a
drawing to win an Apple iPad 2

.         The top 3 sellers in our district for wreaths will be eligible to
win one of the following prizes (iPad2, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle)

.         Any scout that sells $2,500 or more in popcorn will have the
opportunity to select one of the following prizes (2 person inflatable
kayak, 8GB iPod Touch, PS Vista, E450 Scooter, 32" Flat Screen TV, $200 Visa
Gift Card)

 

Attachments are:

.         Donation receipt - If a customer orders a Military donation or
gives you a monetary donation, I have attached to this email a form that you
can give them for tax deduction.  These are only to be used on military and
cash donations.

.         Popcorn receipt - This is to be used if a customer wants a receipt
for popcorn that they have paid for and you have not yet delivered.  All you
need to do is collect the money and give them the receipt

.         Potawatomi Sales Flyer - this is the same as the order sheet you
will receive on Sunday. You can email this to family and friends so they can
see what you are selling

.         Potawatomi Take to Work Tent - Parents, print this and take it to
work.  It folds into a tent that can be placed on a table in your break
room, etc.

.         The other 2 are help sheets for selling.

 

Finally, the pack needs someone to volunteer to organize the popcorn sale
next year, if you are interested, this would be a good time to learn by
helping me!

 

If you have any questions, please contact me!

 

Yours in Scouting,
