Christmas Tree Fundraiser

Dear Scouts and Parents,

We need a minimum of 16 more scouts and 1 more parent to make the Christmas Tree Pick-up Project work. Please take 2-1/2 hours this weekend to help support both the troop and the community by helping to distribute flyer/door-hangers. This is a major fundraiser (via donations) for the troop. This money goes to the purchase of merit badges and awards and troop equipment, among other things. The troop needs your support.

What are we doing?
We will be hanging flyers on neighborhood doors advertising a Christmas Tree Pick-up Service. The flyer gives instructions on how the homeowner can put their tree out for Troop 271 to pick up for recycling. If we don't distribute the flyers, there won't be any trees for us to pick-up and recyle....

What is involved?
Hanger distribution: You will meet in Carmel Valley (carpools possible), where you will be given a map of a specific neighborhood with a route clearly outlined. Teams of two scouts and one adult will walk through the assigned neighborhood, hanging door-hangers advertising this community service. That's it!

How long it will take?
Just 2-1/2 hours (plus commute)

When will it happen?
Flyer/Door-hanger Distribution: December 20, Saturday 10-12:30
need at least 3 more boys
December 20, Saturday 2-4:30 need at least 6 more scouts, 1 more adult
December 21, Sunday, 2-4:30 need at least 7 more scouts

Note: If you'd like to help out, but cannot make it this weekend, let me know. We can arrange for you to drop off flyer at a more convenient time for you.

Tree Pick-up: January 3, Saturday 10 - 12:30 good, but could use 2-3 more scouts
