Lisa Mayo agreed to print the fliers for the program and to have them for distribution at Lilburn Daze. Gy Erwin noted that door to door solicitation will not be necessary, but a reasonable goal would be for each Cadet to solicit 10 people. This will be an ongoing fundraiser that will be available through the Fundraising page of the Parkviewmcjrotc website. Robin will add a link to the website with instructions for crediting purchases to our Program. NEW BUSINESS: Lilburn Daze: Danielle Johnson reported that LWA has waived the $100 booth setup fee.
