Popcorn Pickup this Friday in the Youth Center at AUMC.  The Youth Center is near where we normally meet for  pack meetings, but closer to the parking lot (and to the right).

When you arrive, you'll find your popcorn ready for you (thanks to a great group of volunteers).  Then, you will do the following:
  1. You'll need to verify that the order is correct.
  2. Sign Picking Slip stating you received the popcorn.
You will need to pickup your popcorn between 5pm - 6pm.

We need some volunteers to help us divide up the orders.  We will need people from 3:45 - 5:00.  The more people who help the less time it will take.
