Troop 136: What a great event!  I can’t thank the group enough for the support on this fundraiser. From those that moved mulch. To the folks that prepared lunch on Saturday and to Mr. Wisenbarger and his company [5 th Avenue Lumber] for the use of the “Moffit” [the mulch moving machine!].  Huge help from all.  Thank You – Thank You – Thank You!!! Ok – here is where we stand… to date we have made just under $8000 in profit with a few orders still to collect on and a mulch bank that will add to this number.  As it stands now, the scouts will have earned about $21.50 per hour worked.  Great Job!  Once the final payments come in this will grow a little. And – for those that helped on Friday-[4/20] or Saturday-[4/21] – you will get a $100.00 Credit for summer camp this year. PARENTS  - If you still need mulch – we have the following still in the “mulch bank”. Cost is still $4.00 per bag and if you would like any it is first come.  Let me know and will ...
