2. Wreaths 
   

   Troop 505 Wreath Sale

   Remember, Wreath Sale order forms are due by October 26. These fresh evergreen wreaths and other decorating items are really beautiful and selling them is a great way for your son to add to his escrow account!  The more he sells, the more he earns! 

    

   Have your son contact Jan McCombs (jmccombs4@gmail.com) if he would like to staff a table at Knox Sunday morning services on October 18 or October 25 from 9:45 am – noon.  If he volunteers for this, he also needs to come Sunday morning, November 22 to deliver the wreaths he took orders for.  Note that some wreaths ordered on Sunday mornings may need to be delivered by the sellers to individual homes if the customer can't pick them up on November 22.

Troop 505 Pancake Breakfast

February 20, 2010 7:00 am --1:00 pm

What Do You Need to Do?

It is again time to prepare for our most fun and largest fundraiser of the Scouting year. At last week’s troop meeting we handout out a packet of instructions, tickets and information including date and time of the event. 

Please remember that Troop 505 policy requires that each Scout sell at least $30 of tickets in order to receive a $30 discount from the total annual Scout registration costs in March. We want to see everyone get that discount. Come on and let's sell and make this our most successful Pancake Breakfast ever!!!!

If family, friends or strangers don't want to attend the delicious and nutritious breakfast, ask them to make a contribution for the tickets and we will give them to a needy family in our community, like we did last year.

Tomorrow’s Troop meeting will have sign up posters for each Scout to sign up himself and one parent to participate in this year's Pancake Breakfast. It is mandatory again for each Scout and one parent to assist with the execution of this event. We will have openings for Friday night's set-up, three shifts on Saturday including but not limited to the closing shift for cleanup. Please keep one of these dates or shifts available as it is Trustworthy, Loyal, and Kind that each Scout and a parent equally participate.. There are other duties which need to be filled such as donation seeking, obtaining prizes for the drawings, and more for those who wish to be a part of the committee.

Ad sale packets were distributed at the last meeting in December so be on the lookout for those in your mail boxes. Please begin selling those now!!!! 

Thanks for everyone's cooperation in making this a rewarding fundraiser for Troop 505. Fund raising allows us to offset campout expenses, expand our aging equipment and provide our Scouts with the best Scouting experience they can possibly have. As with other fundraisers, boys escrow accounts will be credited with 60% of the profits from their sales. Plus, the top seller will receive a $100 coupon and the next four sellers will each receive a $50 coupon!

If you have any questions, concerns or just want to jump on the volunteer wagon now, please call or email me at tbdonato4@sbcglobal.net  (630) 880 – 6822.
