Cub Scouts could use your help

“As you all know by now, my husband and myself have taken over our sons troop. But the problem is that about half the children have moved on to Boy Scouts or have moved to FL. So we are down to only 8 boys. I love it that small. The problem is it means less funds coming into the troop. We have alot of speakers like The Bug Guy, The LadyBug Woman, The Bat Walk, the Hike Through The woods with a Guide to find Eagles and Hawks These are the activities that we plan with he boys. They love the speakers.
Here is what im asking.


There is a program that will send you $1.00 for every used Inkjet Cartrige that you mail back to them. They are called AAA Enviromental inc.
I have signed up for the program. When you are finished with the cartridge you place it in a bag they supply and drop it in the mail.
Thats it.

what im asking is if I send you a couple of these bags (they have bar codes on them so they know where they came from) would you be willing to help my troop?

its promoting recycling and always a good thing!
they send a check out once a month and they will be writing the check out to
CSOA in care of Nora Septoff
and deposited into a account we set up just for the cubs scouts.
if you want any futher info just ask and i'll give you everything I have!


thanks guys!!

I owe you all one”

“Send me two bags. I can help out now.”

“email me with your email addy so i can give you my home addy. my email is in my profile”

“I fixed my profile. it has my email address in it.

thank you both so much!”

“You have mail.”

“thank you Geobeet!”

“that email address didn't work for me...the email i sent to you just came back”

“Maple, I don't have no stinking cartridges, but I'll be glad to make a donation on Friday.”

“When you said you'd give us everything you have, does that include the new kayak you're going to buy, your Pepsi can stove, and that fetching Paddington Bear hat you wore on the Water Gap trip?”

“you know Geo, thats the 2nd time you made a coment about my hat. I love my hat. your just mad cause nobody but me had a very cool hat.
and thats Mrs. Bear to you!!

If you ask to see a bank record or something like that i will show it to anyone that wants to see that it really is for the cubs

Corp, thank you but I will not accept any cash donations. thats not what im looking for.

damanvid, ill check my email”

“Wow. that's the second time this week I've heard of someone saying cash was no good anymore- A friend of mine went to an appliance store to get a real good deal on a TV, but they would not take the big wad of cash he had with him- The deal was only good if you used their credit. Dammit Maple, what about a check?”

“No to cash!
(wow did I just say that? that makes ya question if im a woman LOL)


but if you have any extra gear (other then what you promised me!! LOL) then that I would take. i want to take then on a big trip at the end of next spring.
if we dont use it then i will return it back to you if you want!

geobeet, where is that place your son went to?”

“PS, there is no postage for you to pay at all. its already paid for by the company.”

“Jeez- So we're reverting back to a bartering society now, where money is worthless, and even charities will only accept gear as a donation- Sounds cool to me though. Sorry, I don't have any more extra gear at the moment, when the big trip comes up though, see me about borrowing some stuff.”

“Mapleleaf - we go through alot of them here at work. I'll send you my address”

“Mapleleaf - your Email does not work yet”

“its
nseptoff@backpacker.com


thank you so much!!”

“ok i just emailed matt and asked him to change my email address.
it seems that i can no longer spell my name correctly.”

“for everyone that sent me there address, thank you very much!
I recv'd the bags today and will start sending them out on Monday.
they are just the bags for the little cartridgs, I will aslo be getting envelops for the larger ones (like Brother PC-103 that kind) so if you would like the envelope please let me know, but they are on backorder and will not be aval until Nov.
once again thank you so much!”

“I am so sorry for not getting the bags to everyone that promised to help my troop. I will get it done this weekend!!
Once again Sorry~!”

“Oh God, now she's a bag woman!”

“oh please dont start with the bag lady thing.

i got a seat on the train this morning. so did my husband. lets put it this way.

bag lady = half an empty train
why is that I wonder???”

“well most people stuff turkeys this time of the year, im stuffing envelopes!
I am now sending out them. thanks eveyone!

any else thats wants to help please email me your address.”

“Don't get your finger caught in the envelope.”

“paper cuts ahead!!!”

“Keep her away from the stapler!”

“walkindude
talon
sassafras
the hangman
geobeet

your stuff is in the mail.
once again thanks.
if you return all 10 bags each, our troop will recv. $1.00 for each bag.
so if all of you return them, then we will get $50.00
for that money, we can take the cubs to a wall climbing avent.. they love that so much!!
thanks.”

“I don't go through that many print cartridges!”

“then you better start printing out those nudie pictures you are always looking at!!”

“Well you shouldn't have gone skinny dipping at Round Valley.”

“The underwater shots are particularly interesting.”

“The one by the tree is a riot. What a place for a bird to land!”

“its not true treebeard.

hay geo, you forget your meds???”

“No wonder everyone seems to like you. hmmmm...”

“Yeah, don't let her go to TC2.

It means Totally Clothing-optional!”

“Sorry you had to learn about it this way treebeard. You wanna buy some pictures? j/k JUST KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!!!”

“How much?”

“For you, a discount price.”

“Good, need some new material”

“yup and I have one of geo falling of a friggin moutntain!!

now thats a riot”

“I just rec'd delivery on the popcorn I bought from our local pack. I know they make a lot of $$, as did my pack whenever I was a cubmaster. The popcorn is actually pretty good on top of it!!”

“This is a nice one Maple, you and the fish. What the ..., oh my God!”

“I thought this was a Boy Scout thread?”

“Maple I'm confused... thread title is Cub Scouts, but I see references to Troop? "if you return all 10 bags each, our troop will recv. $1.00 for each bag.
so if all of you return them, then we will get $50.00"

A GREAT fundraiser for older boys (scouts) is to re-cycle Xmas trees. We make between $3,500- $4,000 every year. Need to start planning now though.”

“we work at the prospect park and thats where the boys help out with the Christmas trees. they drive in the trucks and help collect all the trees and the best part is they Volunteer their time doing it. they love to do this!!
The park turns it into Mulch for the playground. It brings the Cubs and the community togther.”

“Nothing good can come of Maple being near a mulcher.”

“Oh God no.......
I have visions of the "FARGO" wood chipper.”

“LMAO
I love that movie!

"did you sleep with the little fella?"


"Yah"”

“has anybody gotten there packages yet?”

“just wanted to remind anyone that if they need more bags then please email me and I will send it out to you ASAP.

thank you all for your help.
we are now Boy Scout Leaders. I cant wait for this year. It will be more involved then the Cubs, but i am sure it will be just as wonderful !

ps, i found a place that will give $2.00 per cartridge!”
