We are almost there!
A week ago it looked like we might fall short of our goals. But due to the many flyers left behind by your scouts, a strong mail/call-in for orders and the extra weekend push, it looks like we will come very close if not surpass last year's numbers. We thank you all. However, it is not quite over. This is where we will need more adult help along with the scouts.
This Saturday, March 31, will be fertilizer delivery day. From 9 AM until about NOON, we will send out adults and scouts with order forms and fertilizer. If you are available for even a short time, we could use your help, especially if you have a van, truck or SUV.
Please use the troop website to sign up for Saturday delivery. I will use those names to create a schedule of times so that everybody does not show up at the same time. Email Mr. Schwab if you are only available for a certain period of time. An email will go out Friday. We will pull orders based on your availability and neighborhood for you to deliver with your scout or scouts.
Parents and older scouts. This is where I need your help. We need to be able to make sure all orders pulled are accurate when you leave and delivered to the proper addresses and checked again at delivery. In some cases -COD's- payment needs to be collected. It is important that the deliveries are checked for accuracy. Please note: All forms need to be returned. Original order forms are needed for confirmation of order, delivery and payment.
The hours that you and your scout participate will count towards their scout accounts. Please sign in when you arrive. While all scouts are welcome, keep in mind that someone in the car needs to be able to handle 40-50 pound bags. An older scout may need to help out with the younger boys.
Also, please be patient with this process. We have sold over 400 bags of fertilizer and it can get backed up and hectic counting out orders. If you are available to come earlier than 9 AM to help get started, let Mr. Schwab know.
