Booth Sale Coordinator

Thank you for helping the Troops and girls achieve their goals!  All of your hard work in securing sites, running lotteries, maintaining sites, and helping to monitor troops was such a huge part of their success in the Cookie Program.  We appreciate all of your hard work and commitment to making 2023 a successful Cookie Program. You are all rock stars! 

Please remember to go back to the stores and thank the managers that you worked with. Take them a box or two of cookies and a hand written thank you, ask a troop or two to write thank you cards or use THESE. 

Additional Booth Sales for troops with inventory remaining may be authorized through the end of March. If any of your Booth Sale locations are still open to having troops sell, connect with your Service Unit Cookie Manager to see if troops still have inventory remaining.  Add these locations to the Booth Sale Scheduler in ABC Smart Cookies for troop bookings.
