Popcorn Donations for Deployed Troops!

This year we will again be accepting popcorn donations for deployed troops. We will do this in conjunction with our booth sales later in Nov, but Scouts can also take orders for popcorn that will be donated to deployed troops. So, if someone doesn't want popcorn for themselves, they may want to order popcorn as a donation to deployed troops We will turn all donated popcorn over to Bolling's Family Support Center in December to include in their care packages they will send out for the troops deploying in Jan 2007.
