When you look at the schedule, you'll see a column listing dates for each bottle week (which now runs MONDAY thru SUNDAY) and next to it there are two different Scouts listed.

- The Scout listed in the left hand column is in charge of the bottles at the NIVERVILLE QUICK STOP box.

- The Scout listed in the right hand column is in charge of the bottles at the VAL KIN CONVENIENCE box.

Here's what you need to do:

Look at the schedule NOW. If you are assigned a week that you are unable to cover, call one of the other Scouts >>IN THE SAME COLUMN<< and arrange to switch with him.  Then send an email to BRENDAN CALUNEO with a copy to ME and to MR GABRIEL so we can update the website and Weekly News.

• Watch the Weekly News and listen for a call from BRENDAN CALUNEO (our bottle coordinator) to remind you when your week is (and in case of any changes).
• During your assigned week, go to the location you are assigned.  Collect all the bottles from the box, remove and dispose of any trash/non deposit bottles/etc. (You can take any amount at any time, but you need to make sure that the box never reaches a point where the bottles are accumulating outside of it, and by the last day of the week the box should be totally empty).  Take the bottles back to a store (your choice, most stores seem to be pretty good if you mention it's for a Scout group, and if the machines won't take it try the person at the window) and get the cash for them.
• While you are picking up the bottles, please note any problems with the boxes and report them to one of the adult leaders so that they can be corrected quickly.
• Place the money in an envelope and LABEL IT AS FOLLOWS: Your NAME, the week you collected (from xx/xx/xx to yy/yy/yy), the DOLLAR AMOUNT and the LOCATION NAME (Quick Stop or ValKin is fine).
• SEAL the envelope and turn it in to BRENDAN CALUNEO at the next troop meeting (or you can drop it to him – just make arrangements with him on a good time for both of you).
• If you find that you are overwhelmed by the number of bottles ( >$70.00) then please call Brendan on or before Friday so that he may try to get you some help.
