Something different for snack -- Doughnut Seeds. The template (below) comes from Family Fun. You print it out, tape or glue it up with Cheerios inside. The trick it to plant the "doughnut seeds" and pplace them where they can grow comfortably. In our case, a different room than our meeting...and the girls were POSITIVE that I would leave to switch them out. (they just didn't count on another parent helping them "grow"...ha!
***Plant Donut Seeds***
Cookie Planning:
- Troop box goal? 180/per girl for the Kalahari Day. 2160
troop boxes +
- What do we want to do as a troop over the next year?
(paint your own pottery store visit, go to Whole Foods for a snacks/class
workshop, Overnight at Children’s Museum of Milwaukee, make troop t-shirts)...narrow
the list
- How much will it cost? $14 - $7 - $30 - ?
- How many boxes does that mean we have to sell? We make
$0.70/box so let’s do the math!
- 14 + 7 + 30 = $51
Divide by $.70 = 72 boxes!
- We already know we need to sell 75 boxes each to pay for all the patches, etc over the year...so that makes a base goal of $147 boxes per girl. Just SSTTTRRREEETTTCCCHHHIIINNNGG a bit to 180 and we get to add a FREE day of fun at the Kalihari!
(YIPPEE!)
- What can they earn this year?
We will review the gifts from the cookie carnival --
Patches, trinkets, American Girl Doll, Mall Of America over night trip, etc
Talk realistically about how many cookies are sold per booth shift…. The rest
is from online, door to door, family and friends.
- How can we have an AWESOME series of cookie booths??
- Know our stock
- Suggestive Sell
- Donations
- Change for Change
- Expectation letter to sign....
- Song
We need to sign thank you notes
for booth spots! There are Thank You cards for us to all sign – that way, we
can make sure each location knows how much we appreciate them.
