Popcorn Update

The Bill Hart District completed the first leg of the 2008 Popcorn Campaign on Saturday with the successful completion of the Show and Sell segment. Once again our units did an outstanding job. We have exceeded last years Show and Sell sales by $39,275 (14.4%). Additionally, our District Take Order sales have also exceeded last years totals by $7,335 (10%). Our total sales for 2008 currently stand at $345,115.

Congratulations to all of our units and boys for their outstanding performance this year. The Bill Hart District continues to amaze people on how well we deliver popcorn to the community. Also our sincere thanks to the many adult leaders who coordinated, assisted and tackled the paperwork aspect of this years campaign. Read more
