Annual Fund
Council would like each troop to submit the name/address/phone of a small business in their neighborhood to the SU Annual Fund Chairperson. Council personnel will be soliciting these business. Please provide Diane Cunningham with this information at our December SU Meeting. Also please remember that each troop is expected to participate in the AFC. We are $4,000 from reaching our goal. Please contact Diane for any questions or
