How time flies! Whodathunk popcorn season would be upon us so soon??
Same rules as last year - if you buy popcorn, I will match your purchase with a donation to Operation BBQ Relief, or to any other charity of your choice.
If popcorn isn't your thing, you can make a donation to "Heroes & Helpers", and I'll match it, as above.
Here's the link:

Then, we'll go around the neighborhood with the wagon". A bunch of folks bought stuff from him last year, he got a good many points, money was donated to OBR and some other charities. There were some good vibes in the universe.
Yes, I know it would be far easier, (and cheaper) for me to just buy his stash of popcorn, and be done with all this in 15mins flat. But, that would suck.
caliprince is a Bear this year, and super excited about earning his Whittling Badge. We've had a blast camping, etc. with the Pack, and are looking forward to another fun, great year


(He said that’s the best he could smile for a picture).

Please PM me with your email add, so I can send the receipt for the matched donation. Also, let me know if you would like the donation to go to OBR, or a different charity.

I know. He talks, and deals, like a contract lawyer. And, yeah... thank goodness for caliqueen's genetic smoothing outening!
Let me know where you want the match to go. Thanks!

I will be sending out the first lot of matching donations tonight, and will update you with the receipts.
Y'all are going to cost me some $$
Same deal with mother nature this year as I always order the chocolate pretzels. Delivery timing climate change driven. Glad to participate once again.
I should point out that y'all have already matched last year's sales to eggheads. In less than a day. Your support is very much appreciated.
A member mentioned that it may be helpful to explain the popcorn pricing. My understanding is that about 1/3rd goes to the national organization, 1/3 goes to the local unit, and the remaining 1/3rd is the cost of the product. More of the Heroes & Helpers donations (which can be made in any multiple of $1) goes to the local unit (I think).
Individual scouts get points for each $1 of sales, which are tallied at the end for them to win rewards/prizes. They receive an extra 25% points credit for online/ credit card sales.
Again, thanks for supporting a Cub Scout!
Please let me know if you would like the matching donation to be sent to a charity other than OBR.
With a couple of weeks left, it seems that there's a good chance I'll end up doubling the matched donations I made to OBR last year.
