Food Drive and Popcorn Sale

A quick summary:
 
FOOD/COAT DRIVE 
The pack collected 1,511 pounds of food:
  • the top of all units (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing) in the Buckeye district, and
  • top Pack in the whole council including central and southern Ohio and northern Kentucky
AND collected about $900, which with the buying power and partnerships of the foodbank, they can distribute over $6000 in groceries
AND collected 67 coats, 30 hats, 28 pairs of gloves, and 20 blankets/comforters.
 
Thanks to Hugh Downer for delivering the food, Larry Macintosh for getting all the coats/hats/gloves/blankets to Swan for cleaning, and Thanks to all you scouts for putting out the effort to get involved!!
 
 
POPCORN SALE
Total sales of $23,000 and change, about one-third of which the Pack keeps.  Much of this is now in your individual scout accounts for scouting uses.
Thank you all for your participation - we can't make all this work without you.
