NEARLY 200,000 AMERICANS ENLIST
IN "OPERATION POPCORN"
Thanks for Your Input
As the Council Popcorn Committee begins to plan for the 2008 Popcorn Sale, we would like to thank everyone for their input on the surveys that were sent out at the end of the year.
Your input will allow us to address ways to deliver the best possible program that will help you pack, troop, team, or crew with your funding needs. Every district was represented
and we received a large percentage of responses. While the overall opinions on the sale were extremely positive, we do have some key areas to address and will be looking for
additional input in the near future from you to make sure we deliver what was requested. Feel free to other input throughout the year as we start the planning for 2008!
