Fall Sales are nearly here! 
 
Fall Sale
  
Troops are gearing up for the fall product sale (nuts, magazines and more).  
 
 
Lafayette's Fall Sale training is scheduled for:
Monday, September 15th
7:00-8:00 pm
1144 Palomares Court, Lafayette
 
Troop Fall Sale Managers need to attend to pick up troop packets, find out what's new this year and learn/review how to use the computerized order entry system.  Don't miss out on the free samples and raffle prize as well!  Must be present to win!

Please RSVP as soon as possible with your troop number, Fall Sale Manager's name and email address and number of girl packets you will need.

The initial fall orders take place between September 25 through October 19th and the public booth sales take place Nov 13 - Nov 30   (product deliveries will begin in early November).
 
This is a much smaller program than the cookie program and a good way for troops to earn some dollars early in the year and for girls to learn some basics of business smarts -- setting goals, organizing, presentation skills, budgeting and keeping track of money.
 
If you have questions or suggestions about the Fall Product Sale Program, please contact Jodi Repstad at 933-6025.
