Popcorn orders due this Thursday/Scouting for Food Saturday
From Jackie Mulhall, Popcorn Chairman:
A reminder to everyone that popcorn orders are due on this Thurs. Nov. 6. Money should be turned in with the orders. Our goal was total sales of $10,000 or an average of $250 per scout. I know we have a few scouts who have sold $500 or more already, and we have $1,772 from Show “n Sell sales and donations, so we are well on our way. If you have not sold popcorn yet, please get out and do it this week. Each scout is requested to sell a minimum of $150 ($200 per family) in popcorn. Money from popcorn benefits not only our troop, but also the district (things like scout camp).
From Sue Mayer & Denise Black, Scouting for Food Chairmen:
Hopefully you all had the chance to appreciate the nice weather last weekend, while putting out your Scouting for Food bags. We’re getting a little “extra help” this year from the Bee Intelligencer newspaper. They will be including our drive in the weekly calendar.
***The bags should be collected up between 9AM and noon on Saturday morning (11/8).***
Please check with your patrol leader on Thursday night to confirm your patrol’s pick up strategy. (Some patrols opted to have different people do drop off and pick up. Others decided to have each boy pick up the same bags he dropped off). If you do not hear from your patrol leader, please be sure to pick up the bags you put out last weekend. 
***Bags should be returned to Shepardson before noon on Saturday.***
When you arrive, please consider staying around for 10 minutes to sort the food you collected. You’ll feel wonderful when you look around at all of the yummy things we’ve collected and think about the people for whom this food is not only a treat, but a necessity.
Your help in collecting this food takes a burden off a family that is struggling this season. Congratulations on living out your Boy Scout ideals!
Mrs. Mayer and Mrs. Black
