On Monday night, August 9th, we will be kicking off our Community Service book fundraiser. In years past, we have sold Citipass, but I have been informed by them that the “big dogs” like Bi-Lo and Home Depot have not renewed. Hence, we are trying to give this book a try.
I will hand out an informational sheet Monday, but just wanted to give you some highlights prior to that. Books are $20 each, with a flat $10 profit for each book sold. For every 5 books your scout sells, he receives the sixth one sold at 100% profit! For example, if he sells 6 books, he will receive $50 for the first 5 and then $20 for the sixth. Seventy dollars for selling 6 books is a pretty good deal! Sell 12 books, that’s $140 profit, and so on..
This fundraiser is open to ALL scouts, not just the Seabase crew. Please remember that the first obligation with your proceeds is dues payment ($225 due by December 31st), after that is fulfilled, then the money will be applied to summer camp, or to the high adventure trip.
Please take this opportunity to encourage your scout to give this fundraiser his best effort. If you have any questions, please call Cindy Schnall at 704-236-2684. Thanks!!
