We will have coupon stands that can be placed in different businesses let us know if you want any.

Please note that all steps are cumulative, if you miss the training you will only be able to get 15%, even if you do the advertising. For training you only need one person to represent your unit.
Monies will be deposited in your unit account unless otherwise requested, after the event is over. You must send your request to Shanna Richardson no later than Jan 1st .
