FWmaker Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) DMD Quote in PM exchange: "Far as I am concerned, you can certainly post about it on the tailgate and tell them I said it was okay. It is for a good cause!" Dear Huddler, Did you know you can help me earn my own way in Scouting? Just click this and place an order on my behalf. Trail's End has made a lot of improvements this year. All microwave products are made with canola oil and all caramel products are naturally sweetened, so there are plenty of healthy, flavorful snacks to choose from. 70% of your purchase will be returned to my unit, my council and my Scout rewards. Online purchases help us fund fun, educational activities and help more kids experience all the things that make Scouting great. You have the choice of buying either ready-made gourmet popcorn or microwave popcorn for yourself or donate popcorn to our troops overseas. Scouting is celebrating its 100th anniversary in the USA. Help us celebrate by supporting Scouting and/or our troops! Thanks for your support, Jake, FWmaker's son Per DMD, this is not treated as SPAM as it is a donation to a cause rather than for personal gain. Thank you for your time. It's not often you see a charity that benefits from 70% of funds collected. Virtually nothing goes to administrative costs. Just for actual cost of the products and the balance to the Scouting program. Yours in Scouting, FWmaker Edited October 28, 2010 by FWmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWmaker Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Someone said link was faulty (a bit). It is fixed so you don't have to "pick a scout representative" Just a quick note. I will bump this several times through this weekend's games. Once over, I will let the thread drop. Thanks for your time and patience. And thank you, DMD If the site still asks for a Scout Representative, Enter Jake L. zip 11040 thanks Edited October 28, 2010 by FWmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You can do as much by donating 1 buck of folding money instead of buying 10 bucks worth of that rough popcorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your gift of recognition was so nice. Thank you!" ~~ SMSgt Paula --- "Hi, I am a Soldier in Iraq. We Love Your Popcorn!!!! We Need Your Popcorn!!!! Every now and then we get care packages with [your] Popcorn. We love the Sweet taste of the Kettle Popcorn. The problem is we only had a couple of pack and it is gone. Now we are all craving it. Can you help us out?" ~~ SFC Benjamin ------, Iraq. "Your [popcorn] service makes a world of difference and help to boost the morale of the service men and women throughout the world." ~~Navy Admiral. "It is always a great thing when we can show our support and loyalty to our men and women of service, and I thank you for your hard work and commitment to our troops.” ~~ a State Governor “Hello, Just read the article regarding the Boy Scout popcorn fundraiser. My son is stationed at Camp Lejeune and it was quite a nice surprise in his day when his sgt gave it to him. I received a text within 5 min of him receiving it, telling me about it. Thanks for remembering our troops and my son. You DO make a difference in their lives! With much appreciation” ~~ Deanna G. "Popcorn everywhere is a big hit. Pallet that arrived here was distributed last week and was a big hit (raised morale). Troops extremely grateful. Also received feedback from Seabees --they had their relay for life where troops ran laps for 24 hours with money earned going to charity. Needless to say, there was plenty of popcorn to keep them awake throughout the night. The Chiefs tell me the barracks smell like popcorn 24/7 and if the troops are in the barracks, chances are they're studying their course work and staying out of trouble. OOORAH! ~~BILL 6-9-08" "Thank you very much for the generous donation of popcorn to the crew of USS Port Royal. My sailors and I greatly appreciated your thoughtfulness and the hard work that went into making your donation possible. Your patriotic support is a great encouragement to us all".
