How Your Unit Can Earn a Bonus 2% Commission?
Units can receive a bonus 2% commission if they do not return popcorn to the Cradle of Liberty Council. Come rebalance day on October 26, 2019, you may have product left over. Before you bring that popcorn to re-balance day, ask yourself two questions;
 
1.  Did I use any left over popcorn to fill part or all of my units final take order? Make sure you do this, so that you can reduce the amount of product you would have to place and pickup with order #3. And eliminate the need to drive to rebalance day.
2.  Would my Unit earn more by returning product at rebalance day? Or keeping what I have left (after answering question 1) and earning the bonus 2% commission?
