POINSETTIA FUNDRAISER

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

(CLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER)

Cosmo Brothers, it’s time to recruit volunteers to help audit, sort tickets, and then deliver the 3,000+ plants that will be sold once again for this most awesome fundraiser!  For the last five years, we’ve set new records for plant sales and no doubt will set a new record in 2019!

As many of you know, there is a significant amount of coordination that goes into pulling off sale, sort, and delivery of this many plants and it cannot be done without your help!  

Friendly reminder, every member is required to sell a minimum of $140.00.  Those members who choose not to sell or meet this minimum will receive a plant minimum charge during the January 2020 billing cycle.

HELP IS NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING:

▪ 8 Auditors are needed for Envelope Audit on Wednesday December 4th

▪ TWO TEAMS of 12 will be needed for Sort Night on Thursday December 5th

▪ 60 DRIVERS will be needed for Commercial Deliveries on Friday December 6th  

▪ 60 DRIVERS will be needed for Residential Deliveries on Saturday December 7th

Are you Skilled with using a letter opener and calculator?  We have a job for you!  All envelopes turned in at this day’s luncheon must be audited and prepped for sorting.  The audit is usually completed by 3:00 p.m.

SORT NIGHT DETAILS:

Delivery Card Bingo!!  A most impressive system is coordinated the night before we begin deliveries and the more volunteers we have the faster and easier the night goes.  It is simple.  You are given a stack of cards, the numbers are called off by our coordinator, and we gather the tickets in the order called to then organize the delivery routes.  Very easy!  Plus, pizza and beer will be provided!
