The sale is changing some this year with offering 2 sessions of selling and having a Zoom Kickoff/more information meeting.  Sheri will be printing the information off for the February Roundtables and supplying meats sticks for the units to try.  Sheri will also send the information out in an email to unit leaders, past Spring Sale Coordinators and Popcorn Kernels.  The price is going to $2 per meat stick.  I know it is a price increase, but I was just at event where the meat sticks were a little bit smaller selling for $2 and they sold out.  Above is the link for units to sign up for selling.

 

The spring fundraiser is intended to help your unit raise funds for your program and adventure needs.  It is also a critical part of helping the Council meet its financial needs in providing a quality program for your Scouts.

This is a supplemental program to the Annual Council Fall Popcorn Sale.  Perhaps there are additional financial needs that your unit and some of your participating Scout families have such as:  paying for Summer Camp, paying dues, program fees, purchasing new uniforms, and purchasing equipment needs.  Maybe there is a special event like a High Adventure trek or national-level event that your Scout may need some extra funds.  This spring fundraiser sale will help you supplement income from the popcorn sale for those needs.  30% of the sales will go back to the Scouts that sell.

 

The Central Minnesota Council has teamed up with Wrazidlo’s Old World Meats, Inc.  Wrazidlo’s is based out of Duluth Minnesota and make flavor-filled meat sticks.  The meat sticks are wood smoked with no fillers and are high in protein and low in fat.  The meat sticks are a shelf stable snack stick and have a 13 - month shelf life with no refrigeration required.  Each stick is a 1 oz. individual package.  There are 20 sticks per caddy, with a case containing 12 caddies.  The meat sticks are sold by the caddy to the units.  The individual meat sticks are sold for $2 or $40 per caddy.

 

Flavors that are being offered are:

           

BBQ, Buffalo, Dill Pickle, Hot, Original, Pepper Cheese, Pepperoni, Teriyaki
