Nov 5th All popcorn and prize order forms need to be turned in today.  Faxes to 865-588-3728 or hand delivered.  We may also input all order through the Trails-end online ordering program.  We are also supposed to return any popcorn that we haven't sold from, the Show and Sell dates, for credit, and pay for what we have sold.
Nov 14th or 15th Popcorn Distribution day
Nov 15th until finished Deliver popcorn and collect money
December 11th All money is due to Council

There is a clause that "New" units are allowed to sell until November 29th, we are technically not new anymore, however; this is our first year in popcorn.  Since we already have some customers that are waiting for popcorn, I think we should stick with the Nov 2nd deadline.  Let me know if you want to pursue the Nov 29th deadline and I will speak with Bruce about it.  

On-Line Ordering.
Also, there was some questions about the on-line ordering.  It is meant to be an option for out of state, or out of country friends and family, not the only way to order.  It works well for people that cannot see the brochure that we have.  I already have a company in Kentucky interested in ordering popcorn to give out for Christmas gifts to clients.  Hopefully other companies will take advantage of this for us!
