For those who took Community Service books, I hope you have had great success thus far! As a reminder, books will also be available for pick-up at the August 16th meeting whether you need more or are picking up for the first time. Also, money collected thus far may be turned in that night as well, you do not have to wait until September 20th to turn in funds. Please remember that we have no meeting on the 23rd, so if you need books please make every effort to pick them up this Monday night.

An extra selling feature of the books are the on-line coupons. Every book has a number code on the back cover. Tell your customers to log on to www.communityservicebook.com and enter that number code. They can they access on-line coupons through the year as well.

Community Service Books

Scoutmaster — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:19:55 +0000

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!!

High Adventure Fundraiser

bbeamer — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:53:50 +0000

Just a reminder that our first high adventure trip fundraiser will take place next Tuesday, the 27th, from 5-9 pm at the Matthews Township Grill, 10400 E. Independence (in the same shopping center as Carraba’s near the fitness place). The following scouts have responded and are slated to work that evening:

Michael McKay

Jordan Schnall

Anthony Miller

John Miller

Jacob Lee

Blake Garen

If your “high adventure” scout plans on working the fundraiser that evening please e-mail Cindy Schnall at cyn93063@aol.com, or cell 704-236-2684 so that they may be accounted for. Only those scouts who come and participate will share in the profits of the evening.

ALL troop families are certainly encouraged to attend and have a great meal and of course, support our scouts. Please invite family and friends so that we may make this a success!
