Candy Sales

We have a meeting this Wednesday Jan 8 from 6 to 7pm at the council. We will be working on our Sparks Champion projects and have an art lesson. Nick is signed up for snacks for this meeting.

The candy sale kick off is Monday Jan 13, 5:45 to 8pm at Millikan High School ( 2800 Snowden Ave 90815). This is a potluck so everyone needs to sign up for a main dish, salad, dessert, drinks or paper goods. Bottled water is preferred as it is not too messy to clean up. Please sign up at tomorrows meeting for a dish or paper goods to bring. I will have the sign ups for the bank and store candy sale dates at the kick off event. Please make sure you copy the dates correctly and check the blog often for any changes to the schedule. If you don't show up for a sale, especially a good location, that means someone else will miss out on selling so be mindful of what you sign up for. Marie Newton will be helping me with the bank deposits this year, every week you need to coordinate a drop off with her so we can be sure to get all the money in the bank in a timely manner. I will add on as many sale date/sights as you need, don't worry if you don't get all the spots you want in the beginning. There are always people who give back good sights toward the end, so I can sign up for more as we go. Please don't wait until the last minute and tell me you are stuck with a ton of candy. If you communicate with me I will do my best to help you get rid of it but I work full time and have two kids selling so I am super busy. Candy sales start officially on Friday Jan 17 and end Feb 16. All money needs to be turned in by Monday Feb 16 so we can do a final deposit Tuesday Feb 17. I will organize the tables, chairs, posters, sale box this weekend and have them available in front of my house when the sale starts. Please bring back the tables/chairs etc immediately after each sale. Sometimes we need them for another sale right away and it is hard to track down who has what and where. It is a great idea to have your own little table/chair set up you can use your own. I have done that for several years and it has been much easier not worrying about tracking down the table/chairs each time.

I will be picking up the candy this Saturday at 10:30. Please come by and get your candy around noon if possible, I don't have a lot of storage space so I need to get the candy distributed asap. If you can't make it on Saturday, let me know when you can pick it up so I am home when you come by.
