[Bsa-troop85] Annual Root Beer Stand Fundraiser

[Wayne]

Hey Troop 85!  This is assistant scoutmaster Wayne Evans.

 

The following is a late plea for help with our root beer stand at the Jenks
Herb and Plant Festival next weekend.  

 

For those not familiar with this troop tradition; the Jenks Garden Club and
Troop 85 have an arrangement whereby we assist the garden club with setting
up and tearing down for the festival each year.  In exchange, they provide
us a space, at no charge, where we can sell soft drinks as a fundraiser for
the troop.

In recent years, the money raised thru the root beer stand has been
designated for summer high adventure trips.  This fundraiser has always been
a total troop effort, however, this is the first year I've been the one
responsible for making it happen.  I'm afraid I've neglected to properly
promote it, and now find myself scrambling to find the help we need.

 

Here is the schedule of activities we will need assistance with (If you are
part of this summer's high adventure pay close attention I left out some
stuff in my recent email):

 

Friday April 24th at 5pm.  We will meet near the Tedford Insurance office
121 E. Main St. to help the garden club and miscellaneous vendors set up.
This primarily involves unloading and distributing tables and chairs up and
down Main St.

 

Saturday April 25th 7:00am.  We will meet at the same location to set up the
pop-up, fill coolers, and do whatever else needs to be done in order to
begin selling drinks at 8am.   The festival runs until 4pm, so we will need
scouts to volunteer throughout the day.  We will also need some adults to be
on hand throughout the day.  We will be selling drinks at the pop-up as well
as with a mobile concession (2 or 3 scouts pulling a wagon).

 

Somewhere between 3 and 4pm we will begin helping the garden club gather up
tables and chairs, and reload them on the truck.

 

I apologize for the late notice, and I ask that everyone consider helping
out however they can.  I mainly want to be sure we do not jeopardize our
relationship with the Jenks Garden Club, as the root beer stand has been a
terrific fundraiser for the troop.

Our goal this year is to raise $1000.00, so pray for some hot sunny weather.

 

I will be at tomorrow evening's troop meeting with a sign-up sheet for those
that can join us next weekend.  Please feel free (read:          compelled)
to call or reply to this if you have questions or would like to offer
assistance.

 

Thanks everyone.
