Welcome back to another exciting year in Girl Scouts! The 2011 Fall Nut & Magazine Program is themed around success for tomorrow. Girls learn that by investing in today they will experience success for tomorrow. Girls of all ages continue to learn entrepreneurial skills that will continue to benefit them into adulthood.
The Fall Nut & Magazine Program features some of our old favorites with the addition of some new, tempting varieties and back by popular demand…..Salsa Mix!
Our three new additions include a 100 Year Commemorative tin filled with delicious Pop-O-Pop Crunch, Mint Treasures that were originally called Mint Melt –A- Ways and Chocolate Covered Almonds.
As in past years the Honey Roasted Peanuts, Peanut Butter Dreams and Deluxe Pecan Clusters will sell for $5.00. The Cashews, Gummi Berries, Chocolate Covered Raisins and Peanuts sell for $6.00 and all of our new products will sell for $7.00.
The nut/candy monies will be collected when the product is delivered and the magazine money will be collected when the orders are placed.
Remember to follow safety rules as we begin our Fall Program, and please keep in mind that the Fall Program is directed towards friends and family.
If you have any questions please contact Bernie Steffan, Product Sales Manager at 800-736-5243.
