Help Girls Become Super Sellers By Volunteering at Cookie College

Girls discuss branding during last year's Cookie College.

Help us make a difference!  Join us for our annual Cookie College on Saturday, Dec. 14.  The event, consisting of two educational sessions for approximately 150 girls per session, will be located at Kaskaskia College and will cover the following topics:  Meet my Customers, Cookie CEO, Business Plan, Research and Development, and Customer Loyalty.  We are seeking experienced businesswomen who will share insight on developing customer relationships, setting business goals, and researching competition.  Statistics show that girls who attend Cookie College sell more cookies than girls who do not attend.  Training materials will be provided.  See photos of last year's program.
