Maximizing Success for Your Fundraiser: Tips and Strategies

[VeronicaW]

I am still having trouble w/FR's!

My sister is a Girl Scout Leader and wants to have a FR, but GS cannot endorse products! How can we accomplish this w/o breaking any rules and have a Terrific FR?

Please be specific and detailed, I'm very visual! I truly want to understand FR's better!

TIA
Veronica

See if all the parents will comit to come to a demonstration and either bring 3 people or collect 5 orders (or whatever # you choose)

The show can be put in individual's name. That person then needs to donate the money to the troop. The leader will have a form for this and the $ will need to be sent to the council first. I'm thinking you are part of the same council as me now and I have had troop donations from individuals and it is verry simple.

If you keep the girls out of it and make it about the parents you will be fine. I think Power cooking would be a great theme for all those busy families! I know the nights after my meetings I do not want to worry about What's for dinner!

I've seen people post here that they've done GS FRs so that the girls actually get activities completed toward a cooking badge. And then they, of course, want the tools they used in the activity.
