What to say:
Hi my name is _________ and I’m a volunteer at the local Civil Air Patrol squadron. Are you familiar with the Civil Air Patrol? (We are a civilian auxiliary of the Air Force that teaches cadets about aerospace education, search & rescue and leadership skills. Have brochure handy)
Anyway, we are selling cheesecakes to raise money to fund our squadron and activities for next year and I washoping you could help me out.
These are awesome restaurant quality cheesecakes in 14 flavors and they’ll be here just in time for the holidays. (Hand brochure to look over)
- They come frozen and are pre-sliced and individually wrapped for easy serving. And they will keep for 6 months in the freezer.
How many would you like?
