Over the last week, you received a significant amount of emails from Troop 138 related to the Merch Store. Add them to the other notifications you receive daily and it is no wonder it all just becomes noise...While receiving those emails can be a bear, imagine if you had to write them.
What motivates us at Troop 138 to keep the information flowing is ..... you guessed it...the Scouts!
Tonight, two things are occurring that are aimed squarely at our boys. One, the Merchandise Store closes. To date, we have not only outfitted our scouts with apparel they asked for to show off their Scout spirit, but we raised $371. Get this, 85% of the Scouts participated.
The second thing that will occur tonight is our pop-up virtual fundraiser. It will commence at 6:05 pm. It will run for four days and then end. It is a proven method to raise $ without a significant amount of work.
All it takes is for each scout (family) to set up their pop up store (less than 3 minutes) and then share the link to family and friends. That's it. We currently have 6 scouts/families that have set up their stores. Some families, have set up multiple stores.
Why are we doing this? Over the years Troop 138 had a benefactor that was gracious enough to support the Troop and its endeavors, so much so that the Troop did not have to prioritize fundraising. Today, that is no longer the case, and if we want to offset the costs to all the great things our adventurous Scouts want to do we must fundraise.
That said, kudos to Mr. Les and Mr. Bellarmin that went through the great pains of setting up Troop 138 as a non profit, and Mr. Mosca for taking the lead on a fundraising subcommittee. So when you see the emails and communications come through, please understand, it is all about the Scouts. And they need all of our support, in time, attention, and in fundraising.
TIME SENSITIVE ACTION ITEM: Please set up your pop-up store today prior to the 6:05 pm kick-off when you can share your link to family and friends.
Mrs. Guidetti purchased some apparel from the Merch Store that she will award to the three highest fundraisers! First place will receive a Troop 138 blanket. Second place is a Troop 138 baseball hat. And third place, is a Troop 138 knit cap.
Please get your store set up so you are ready to go tonight
