2019 – IT’S THAT TIME….

This is our ONLY fundraiser of the year!

It is time again to sell those Terri Lynn Products to raise money for our chapter needs. Due to the outstanding efforts of many AOIIs the last couple of years, we have had
exceptional fund raising seasons, in which we raised money for our chapter. This money is used to secure event locations, fund a collegiate scholarship, support all collegiate
AOII chapters in Indiana, purchase chapter necessities from Headquarters, and many other things. Thank you all in advance for your efforts to make this our biggest selling year
ever!!!

This is our ONE and ONLY fundraiser each year! Again, we do not require that you go door-to-door selling nuts. Terri Lynn has such high quality products – they
practically sell themselves! All we need you to do is put up Order Forms at your place of business, your church, your daycare, other groups in which you participate, etc.

To help the distribution of the nuts go smoothly, we will continue to have three locations for you to pick up your orders:
