Leaf Raking -- ROUND TWO

More leaves are down—get ready to rake again!
  
We are counting on you—Yes, YOU—to help make this effort a success. If you didn't rake in November, it's time to step up! 

If you did rake, thank you! If you can, please sign up again. The more yards we rake, the closer we'll get to our $2,900 fundraising goal.
Here’s how to help:
1.     Sign up to volunteer. We need 100% participation from the troop.
2.     Spread the word on your neighborhood listserv.
Go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0C4EA8AE2EA57-troop to sign up for Saturday, Dec. 3, or for Sunday, Dec. 4. Please give at least two hours—that is, two one-hour shifts.

Note whether you can bring a rake, tarp, leaf blower, broom. Also, include an e-mail address so we can let you know where to meet your team for your raking shift.

We need adults, too: at least one adult for roughly every 5 scouts.  
Also, If you live in a neighborhood other than Cherrydale, please submit the following to your neighborhood listserv:
Boy Scout Troop 149 Leaf Raking Fundraiser
The boys of Troop 149 will rake your yard Saturday, Dec. 3and Sunday, Dec. 4. Reserve your team today and help feed hungry children across the world!
A team of boys and an adult supervisor will rake your leaves to the curb for pickup by Arlington County. We can clear a typical lawn in an hour. If your yard is particularly large or leafy, please make a note on your reservation so we can schedule accordingly. We will contact you a day or two before your scheduled date to tell you what time to expect your team to arrive.
The boys will collect the suggested donation ($100 per hour) after they rake. Checks should be made to CUMC (Cherrydale United Methodist Church), which will host the Stop Hunger Now event in February to prepare thousands of dehydrated meals for hungry people throughout the world.
Sign up today to reserve your team at https://troop149rakesdecember.eventbrite.com
