[Jayhawk-chapter] FW: Nut Prices

[Cindy Ray]

I suspect that is true. You can't take them out on consignment because they 
have no control over how you have stored them. For our chapter, I have 
ordered several types of nuts and then a praline pecan and a tropical mix. I 
have created a price list, but I don't yet know how my president feels 
anbout it. April hasn't said anything, so I guess it is good to go, though 
we may discuss it Saturday, or I may call her just for her notion on it. I 
can show you all my list if you like. Some of the more expensive ones I 
didn't add as much to but rised some of the less expensive ones more so we 
could make a little more money. Hope this helps.

no I wouldn't want it on my card either.
pay as we sell.  interesting.  but if we order and do not sell we
still must pay, right?
