It's popcorn time!

Hello Scouts and Parents of Pack 661!

Hopefully your Dens have met and you've received your 2012 forms from your Den Leaders. I will have a  few extra forms available if needed. 

At the Pack meeting next Monday, I'll talk briefly with you about this year's popcorn sale, but in advance of that I just wanted to give you some of the key dates and some information about popcorn product changes for this year.

Sale start date:                    It's already on!  Are you selling?
Council-wide blitz:            October 6th
Sale ends:                          October 22nd
Money due:                       October 29th
Popcorn Distribution:       November 2nd or 3rd, still TBD


This year there are 6 items under 20.00

Some new products:
•    Chocolate Lovers Collection.
•    Premium Chocolate Lovers Collection. (comes in a Tin!)
•    Sweet and Savory Collection.
•    Double Caramel Crunch.
•    Cheddar Cheese Corn.

Product improvements:
•    36% more nuts in Caramel Corn with Almonds and Pecans
•    Improved flavors in all varieties of microwaveable popcorn.

I have military donation receipts, but not very many; I am supposed to get more from Council but haven't received them yet.  I will have these at the Pack meeting if you need any. 

Thanks in advance for the time you and your scout will put in to the sale.  If you need to contact me for any reason, email me at Kernel661@verizon.net or call me at 412.833.6362(h) / 412.770.7673(c).

Happy selling!
