<DIV><BR> Update on Fundraising Efforts for Ohio:</DIV>
<DIV>I forwarded our Pampered Chef check to Sherry Ruth today, along with a donation check from Debbie Baker's mom. We appreciate Donna Baker's nice donation---she did not want to purchase items, just write a nice check to us. </DIV>
<DIV>Since we fell short of the $2000 sales amount by--$358, we did not fall under the 20% profit for our fundraiser, only 15%. We could have easily sold over $2000 worth of items if everyone had participated. Like I said previously, we had only 10 people actually sell to friends/family or themselves. 10 people out of HOW many folks in OHIO? We sold $1642 worth of product from less than 20 orders. HMMMMM WHAT IF the rest of the folks in Ohio had actually passed those catalogs along and sold to family/friends/coworkers or themselves????? A great product, a little pricey, but great guarantee and worth the cost. </DIV>
<DIV>Not to continue beating the same drum or dead horse, but, I do believe that more than 10 people are attending National Convention on some kind of assistance.... Yet only 10 people particpated in our fundraiser?</DIV>
<DIV>Time to get motivated, participate in generating funds in order to continue with the assistance programs. There aren't a lot of rich benefactors out there knocking down our doors to donate money to us..........or if there are, I have not heard about it yet.</DIV>
<DIV>I-Pad raffle tickets------I sincerely hope people are pushing those. Less than a month from the drawing. SELL, SELL, SELL! </DIV>
<DIV>Orlando, we are coming soon!</DIV>
