Yankee Candle Fundraiser
Gabi LaBrecque will be bringing Yankee Candle fundraiser packets to the Boy Scout meeting this Thursday. Money earned from this fundraiser goes to the individual scout’s account. Gabi will be at the meeting at 7pm (she is leaving for another meeting by 7:10) to drop off for those interested. If anyone is interested and cannot come to the meeting, they can arrange to pick up the packet at Gabi’s house. Instructions on selling are in the packet. You can start selling immediately and don’t have to wait for the “start” date on the form.
All orders must be returned to Gabi on or before October 4th, along with all the money. Gabi has to ship out the orders on October 5th.
Text Gabi with questions at (860) 502-8108.
