Hi everyone,
It is cookie time again! Without our regular school meetings, it feels like we've been slow, but there are still reasons to join in the cookie sale this year. Obviously it still helps pay for things like tubing, and the campout, but also if our plan is still to look forward to another significant trip when the girls are Juniors/Seniors now is the time to start saving money!
Here are the important dates:
Right now: Girl Scouts should have sent each family a link to create their online selling account--make sure you get that set up right away. With COVID, online selling will be more important than ever. Plus scouts has even incentivized shipping rates for delivered cookie orders greater than 6 boxes which will make it more alluring for people to use the online option. (1/2 price shipping on >6 box orders, which is nice!)
Also right now: If you send me an address, I'll make rounds and drop off cookie selling materials (order card, information sheet, etc.) this weekend so you're ready to roll on Monday.
February 1st: Can start taking cookie orders
February 14th: I need to have your initial order numbers so I can have them entered by the 2/15 deadline. (You can keep taking orders, but they won't be available until 2/26, a couple days later than the initials.)
February 23-24th: I'll have the cookies to fill your initial orders, and they can be picked up at my house.
February 26th: We can start setting up our own cookie booths for scouts and families that feel comfortable to do so. (Not required!)
March 14th: Cookie money is due for cookies sold to this point.
March 22nd: Reward choices deadline.
March 28th: Any remaining cookie money is due.
April 16-17th: Rewards pick up.
Sooooooo, for the moment, let me know where to drop off selling materials, and I'll get those out to you, and check your emails for the link to set up each girl's online account.
Happy scouting,
Aleks
