I would really like to find a store like this in my area. I am St. Lucie County Florida. Haven't been able to find anything online... anybody have any ideas?
I completely agree with MCW. A spaghetti dinner is a great way to go. We use it often for Scouting events that require food or sit down events.
You should have money left over after the supplies and food if you budget it right. You may even be able get a local supermarket to donate some of the food or supplies to your event.
Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts have something similar they use to adhese their patches to their uniform. It is really gluey and sticky and extremely hard to remove. I was told to bring it to the dry cleaner to have it cleaned and then when I got it home the patches would come right off.
Well as a mom to three boys I can't afford anything at the dry cleaners at $5 per shirt.
I did the following and it came out like brand new and I was able to then sew on my new patches in the right places.
Soak in small amount of detergent and warm water. (I use my kitchen sink and about 1/4 the amount of liquid laundry detergent I would use in the washer). Saturate item thoroughly and do not wring out. Let it sit for approximately 15-30 minutes. Use a nylon scrub brush (the ones with a grip handle on top used to clean floors, etc.) and scrub the backing/paper off in circles. It may take several times and a lot of elbow grease, but it should eventually come off.
Once the backing/paper is off, if there is any remaining glue, repeat the process. I also used the back of a very dull knife to slightly scrap some of the glue off that the brush would not remove.
You can't tell that there was ever anything on the shirt and it looks brand new.
