“SPRING BOTTLE & CAN DRIVE”
Our spring bottle & can drive was the most successful drive that Troop 160 has ever had. We collected 35,563 returnable containers and raised $2,215.51. Since the drive exceeded the budgeted dollar amount, the members of the troop will have to decide what they would like to do with the excess funds at the end of the summer.
The members of Troop 160 would like to thank all of the parents that helped by driving or counting.
