<DIV><BR> HELLO out there!</DIV>
<DIV>Is anyone getting excited about going to ORLANDO? </DIV>
<DIV>I know B Pierce, Eric, Debbie B, Ruth, JW, McClains, and , myself are attending. I don't know when or if Richard, Stephanie C, Everette, Beth D, anyone from Cleveland, Cincy or Dayton/Springfield areas are attending.</DIV>
<DIV>I would love to have an idea of who is attending and when arriving (of those who are in the unknown department)</DIV>
<DIV>Can you please get the word out so we have some idea of who to expect, in order to catch up with people for meetings and M&M sales. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>EVERYONE WHO IS GETTING ASSISTANCE NEEDS TO HELP SELL M& M'S TO PUT MONEY BACK INTO THE TREASURY! We need to replenish what we are using to help folks get to Convention. This is a very important part of TEAMWORK!</DIV>
<DIV>Speaking of fundraising--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our Pampered Chef sales were not at all what I expected. We fell short of our goal of $2000 sales or more--which would have given us the best return profit. We sold $1642 and most of that came from just a few people (9)</DIV>
<DIV>Think what great profit we could have had if everyone had participated by just getting a few orders!</DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate those who did order or have friends and family place orders--but what happened to the rest of our members?????</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The NEXT BIG FUNDRAISER is the M & M sales at convention--it will only be as BIG as we make it. If everyone sold at least one box, we could have a good amount of return. The best way to do this is to pay for it up front and then sell it during the week to get your money back. That way everyone wins. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Don't make Richard and I hunt you down to help with money making efforts! Send me an email to let me know who is coming and when........................make it easier for you to help us help you in the future.</DIV>
<DIV>Sorry to keep pounding the same drum---but if you don't want to hear it again----please respond and help us to replenish the funds we have used to get to convention!</DIV>
<DIV>Till next time.</DIV>
