July 4th Fundraiser

Every year, Troop 1409 sells water and sodas at the Fourthfest in Wells Branch. This is a MAJOR fundraiser to help us replenish funds in our General Funds Account. Last year we made a PROFIT of a little over $600. I'd like to shoot for $750 this year.VOLUNTEER SCHEDULE

I have the following Scouts (and parents) listed as volunteers (shifts noted unless not specified by the Scout). I've made an attempt to set assignments, but please keep in mind the boys will be able to take breaks during this time or can switch with others. My big goal was to just ensure we have some starting point and can give each boy a chance to work at a different station.

Selection

Anil and Greg J. will be coordinating to purchase the following drinks for us from Costco.

COOLERS

We need people to bring their CLEAN coolers to the Annex this Sunday afternoon during the Scout meeting. Please be sure you have your cooler labeled with your name.

We'll need enough to have one cooler per product.

We will also need two rolling coolers (although I will also be bringing a wagon in case we need to put a regular cooler on it to roll around)

PETTY CASH

I'll be taking care of having $100 in petty cash available at the beginning of the sale so we can break bills

ICE

Coolers will be labeled by product and loaded with cans prior to Wednesday morning. As of Wednesday morning, I will need several people (as discussed in the meeting) to meet at the Annex at 8:00 AM to take coolers to the ice company in Pflugerville to load them with ice.

Anil and Jennifer will be available through the day to help make additional ice runs.

DOLLY

Rich will bring a dolly to the Annex to help us move coolers to and from vehicles and the park

DECORATIONS

Regail and Spencer have offered to purchase decorations and make signs for the tables. We will need parents to assist in set up during the parade while the boys are marching.

OTHER DRINK COOLERS

I'll have a regular drink cooler at the tables as well, filled with lemonade or punch, for our Scouts/parents to drink from during the sales (thanks for the suggestion from Tyler!)
