NAR 2017 Info
At the Sept. SU Meeting, Alice will be handing out the Nuts About Reading information.
- There will be a sign-up sheet. All should complete the information. If you are not participating in the NAR campaign, please mark NO.
- Many troops do just the address booklets. The booklet is worth $2.00 each. The girls fill them out with 9 good, accurate address and they are given to Alice by Oct. 23. The troop must sell enough product that the profit would be covered. One or two on line sales or donations to the military would usually cover it.
- You would need a packet for each girl. Take your envelope. Do not misplace the envelope as it has the directions for the entire sale including the banking information.
- The girl packets will be in Alice's car. On your way out, please take enough for your troop and a few extra if you think you will get new girls in the next couple of weeks.
- On the table will be the girl permission slips. Please take enough for your troop. The sheet may also be printed from the council web NAR page.
- They did not send enough money envelopes. Take only what you are sure you need.
Questions, email Alice or call her at 215-368-6324

Calling All Leaders: Opportunity Catalog
The opportunity catalog is the list of troops with available spaces per ratio that girls can sign up into. After a parent inputs their information they have access and can select a troop that fits their scheduling needs. Once a girl signs up into a troop, the leader receives an email saying "Susie Smith has signed up for your troop, please reach out to welcome her and provide any necessary information." All of our troops with spaces with be opened up in the catalog come October first, but we are offering a raffle incentive to leaders of troops who opt-in early. Leaders of any troop that opens in the catalog prior to September 30th will be entered into our raffle with various prizes including a S'mores making kit and a tablet.
