Wreath Fundraiser Info

Tis the season for wreath selling!!  The Troop 106 Annual wreath sale will be held on Saturday, December 1st and Sunday, December 2nd.  As in the past, each scout is REQUIRED to purchase 3 wreaths (5 wreaths for a family with more than one scout) & do one selling shift.  We will be in the same 4 locations – Artis Drugs, Met Food, Trinity & Resurrection Ascension.  The price of the wreaths are the same as last year – $16 per wreath.  Shift sign-up sheets will be available at tomorrow’s meeting.  We need both scouts to sell and adult volunteers to supervise. 

Wreath prep will be held on Friday, November 30th.  Time and location to be announced.  It is recommended that Scouts do not come in uniform that evening.  We will also need some help unloading the truck earlier that afternoon.  Please let Gerry know if you are available to assist.

Please keep in mind that this is our ONLY troop fundraiser annually.  It helps keep us solvent while keeping the cost of the program down. We really need all the help we can get, from ALL of our Troop 106 family.

Please contact Gerry Mohr ([email protected]; 917-886-6501) if you have any questions.
