I just submitted a fundraiser for a dance studio and it was over 1200 in sales. Wasnt to bad with only 6 girls doing sales.
 
That's great! Good job! :)
 
Jennie I was wondering how you did the fundraiser I haven't done one yet and one of my friends who does girl scouts and wants to do a pc fundraiser this year instead of the cookies and asked me about them and I haven't ever did one. Thanks for any info !!!
 
I didn't think Girl Scout cookies were optional for a troop! They would sure make a lot more on PC. I can remember those days... We got to keep $1 box....
 
it is now only .45 per box if your whole troop sells so many that averages between all the girls it is horrible depressing and the girl's earn so much less in cookie dough money that it is a joke. I did my training for my troop and the girls mom's are debating on doing it. It is sad to see the program going down hill on their fundraiser

Christina,
I just gave the girls some catalogs and outside orders, and they went out andgot the orders, then I had it sent to my house and I split it up and took it down to the dance studio.
I will probably be doing another fundraiser with them but this time we will be doing the $3 squares.
 
Jennie, I was wondering what are the $3 squares? I am interested in promoting the fundraising part of my business so any info for everyone would be great!
Thanks
