Parents and Scouts:

Just a reminder that we will be having our Boy Scout Troop 136 Mulch Fund-Raiser Order Day this Saturday, March 8.
We will meet at the Creekside Subdivision at 9:30 am – Rain or Shine [See attached map for meetinglocation.- Same as previous years] 

We will have a training session first prior to going door to door so don’t be late.

Make sure you sign in when you get to there. [That is how I know who gets money for the event]

We will be done by noon or before.

Please be ready to go door to door and take orders. This means:

1. Class A uniform [Dress accordingly for the weather]
2. Have a Pen for taking orders
3. Maybe a water bottle
4. For those of you that live in Creekside and would like to ride your bike for this activity that is great, but you will have to have your bike helmet on as well.

I have attached an OrderForm for your own use. If you or your family members would like to order mulch please use this form attached.
If you order Mulch and live in Grove City we will try to deliver for you if you need us to do so.
If you take orders for someone who is outside of Grove City area then you will have to provide delivery.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Just to make sure that everyone knows how the funds will be dispersed, here is how it works:

1. All orders are put into the troop orders to fill.
2. All hours of the scouts are tracked for working on this event.
3. All profit on this Fund-Raiser will be divided by the total scout hours worked to determine an hourly rate. [Profit includes funds above total costs of putting on this event]
4. The Scouts will be paid this hourly rate for hours recorded on our time sheet.

Remember –this is a great way to earn your own way to summer camp.

Sincerely,


Kirk Bohanan
