Dear Troop Cookie Managers and Leaders:
Booth Sales are an optional part of the annual Cookie Program. Because holding booth sales are very popular with troops, we ask that troops abide by our No Call list. This list is on page 10 of your 2018 Troop Cookie Manager Handbook.
These stores should NOT be contacted for booths
;
instead a committee of volunteers has been working hard to secure permission for troops to use these businesses during the 2018 Cookie Season.
- For troops located in Johnson & Wyandotte counties in KS and Cass, Clay, Jackson & Platte counties in MO, we ask that if you are interested in booths at the businesses that are on the list that you enter the booth lottery.
-
Lottery opens December 6, 2017
(this is a different date then what is in your Cookie Handbook. We just need an extra day to get everything set in Smart Cookies) and closes January 1, 2018.
- Please don't get up at midnight to be first, there's no advantage.
- Troops may enter up to three times with a max "win" of one location.
- Troops receive an email if they are placed or not placed.
- Troops that are not placed will receive a phone call the week of January 2, 2018 from the Product Sales Team in an effort to reserve an alternative booth.
- Troops outside of the six counties listed above should consult their SU PSM for direction on the stores on the No Call list in their area; the list applies to ALL counties served by GSKSMO.
- Troops located outside of the six county areas are welcome to join the lottery for locations that are destinations or places they would normally shop. (Ex: Bass Pro, Sam's Club.) We ask that you otherwise enter the lottery in the businesses in your area; retailers want to support local troops.
- Not all stores on the list will be in the lottery. And some stores haven't told us yes or no yet. As they do we will add and notify the SU they are located.
- No locations have been designated as "premium" in our lottery.
