Christmas Tree Sale

Amy Wooden is coordinating and has spoken with suppliers re: varieties and prices of trees. Price difference between top and bottom quality trees is about $5. Higher priced trees provide higher margin. Supplier is also willing to do customized, color coded tags (Boy Scout Troop 100) by type of tree at no charge.

Supplier will also buy back remaining trees at half whatever price we pay. Purchased 100 units in past years. Need to decide what level of quality and what quantities to buy this year. Targeting a December 8 sale date. Parents will be needed as volunteers.
