Roma Sub Sale

Optional

It’s for raising money for Cub Scout Camp.  Here’s how it works.

Contact me and let me know you want to participate.  Please email me at heatherduda@yahoo.com or sign up on the Sub Sale Sheets on your way IN to your den meeting tomorrow night.  I will have the packets ready to go by the time your den meeting is done.  If you have a go-see-it, email me and I will get the packets to your den leader before scouts tomorrow night.  Please include your son’s name and den leader, your name and the best way I can contact you (if emailing me).  I will be there Wednesday night also for those who still meet on that day. 

Roma Pizza subs sell for $6.10 (including tax)

Your scout sells the coupon for $6.oo. 

The scout makes $3.oo from each coupon (50%).

Each packet has 10 coupons to start.  We can sell coupons up until Tuesday, January 5^th.   Money and unsold coupons MUST be returned on this night.  We need to pay Roma their money before they will accept the coupons.  The coupons are numbered for tracking purposes.  You will be responsible for turning in money and any unsold coupons. 

I will be available at the December Pack meeting for those who want more coupons / to turn in money before the Holiday / to turn in the money they collected so far and want more coupons.

Remember Scout Safety Rules: Always go with a grown up.  Never go into houses.

ADVANTAGES:

·        You don’t have to go back and deliver items after they’ve been ordered.

·        You collect the money and they can use the coupon when it’s convenient.

·        The coupons aren’t heavy and they can fit in your dad’s wallet.

·        Your mom and dad don’t have to bring an SUV full of boxes to work with them.

·        Roma is a locally owned restaurant with a great reputation.  Lititz Location Only!!

This Saturday

9am - 12noon

Rain or Shine

We will be meeting at Kissel Hill Elementary School by 9am to make sure that all the groups/dens have enough people and that all the routes are covered.  We need lots of help this weekend!  Our job is to collect and transport donations to Kissel Hill Elementary.  Then we sort, box, and transport the food to the Warwick Community Chest.  We team up with Troop 142 (Middle/High School Scouts) to get this done.  Even if you can only help out for a part of the morning, please come!  Every little bit helps!  My brother is getting married this weekend, so I won’t be there.  Please see your den leader or Melonni when you arrive even if you already know which route you are doing.  This way we know who needs more people and who doesn’t.  Den leaders/Group Leaders - we need a count of how many people are helping with Scouting for Food this weekend for Council.  Please get a count to Melonni on Saturday morning. 

If you are fortunate to be able to donate items yourself, please remember to put your items out on your front stoop or bring it with you.  If you lost your bag, just use another grocery bag or multiple grocery bags if your items don’t fit in one.  We don’t want anyone getting sick, so please dress appropriately for the weather.  Think layers!  We’ve found in the past that the boys are too cold or they come bundled, start working and become overheated.  Okay, so some of the adults have done it too.  :-)  Think Layers!  Have fun!  Thank you in advance for your time and commitment to our boys and those in need during this holiday season.

Just a reminder that the Scouting for Food bag distribution is Saturday, November 14th.  We will be meeting at St. James at 9am.  Make sure your Scout is wearing their shirt as this is an official scouting service project event.  If you bought the shirt a little bigger than your scout it might be able to fit over his jacket.

New to scouts?  Scouting for Food is a service project where the scouts and their families distribute bags to the houses in our assigned area.

On the following Saturday, November 21st, scouts and their families go back to their assigned areas to collect the bags of food that have been set out for us to take.  Then we sort the food, pack it up, and deliver it to the Warwick Community Chest.  Usually the assigned area is shared by a whole den, so a family won’t be by themselves.  The Boy Scout Troop 142 and Cub Scout Pack do this service project together.  Oh, and yes, you can bring your coffee. 

On November 21st, we will need 6 tables, medium size boxes, donations of shipping tape and permanent markers to mark the boxes.  We will also need volunteers with trucks to transport the donated food to the food bank.  Please contact Heather Duda through email at heatherduda@yahoo.com if you can help with any of the above items needed.  Thank you in advance for your generosity and commitment to scouting and to our community!

Here is the newsletter from the Pack meeting on September 23rd.
