Title: Wreaths Across America
Post by: GoofyOne on September 18, 2007, 09:48:39 PM
How are your squadrons doing with Wreath sales?   Are we going to hit the 500,000 goal.  My squadron isn't participating.  I have proposed it to our Squad Commander 3 times since July.

How do I get more information about this? My unit isn't participating, and I think they would enjoy it.

**Bump**

Just found this, and wondering how everyone else is doing?

MI-073 is rapidly approaching the 400 mark on sales, and we're hitting a couple more organizations this week.  Our end goal is 500.

We're also working on arranging for an F-16 flyover, a piper (compliments of the Detroit Fire Dept) and a bugler (compliments of the Detroit PD) for the laying ceremony at Great Lakes National Cemetary.  We've also got at least two groups we've sold to (both PD/FD motorcycle groups) who want to assist with providing escorts for the truck.

Is that 400 wreaths (400X$15.00) or $400.00?

That's 400 wreaths; well, 384 to be precise, but it's close enough. 

All done with a very minimal impact on the unit.  We've only used one or two seniors, although some of the cadets did make some sales and assisted with a booth one weekend.

Man, I thought I was the only one with that problem.
