News from Leadership

[cookn' katie]

Will everyone be posting the new info on here next week? I will be hearing from my director at least once a day so I will post any info that I have!! I want to be there!!!! I am sad!

[zmom58]

I wish I could be there too, can't wait to hear...it's just like Christmas for consultants!!

[wadesgirl]

I know for NC, Greg has asked that we wait until the last day to post anything. Not for sure how it works with Leadership since it's one wave instead of three.

[pamperedlinda]

Last year, we were posting like crazy all the news from our "informants"! Then, I think the server went down and we were w/o CS for several hours and we were all freaking out too!

We are asked by Doris and Marla to not spoil the surprise for the waves still to come - that's why we don't post NC news until after the 3rd wave.

As far as I know, that isn't asked of us during Leadership.

LOL...I remember that!! We were all emailing one another....;)

[Shawnna]

I would love to hear the news too. I don't know if we are suppose to post or not. If not, I would love to get an email. I don't get to attend cluster meetings very often anymore because of my other job and church work. Email address is pchef5@<hidden email>

[kam]

Did anyone find out if news can be posted from leadership - since everyone meets at once and there are no waves? I would guess that there really wouldn't be anything to "spoil" - unless you were waiting for your cluster meeting.

[straitfan]

The last 2 years people were posting like crazy as soon as announcements were made. (Except when the server crashed last year!!) I'm pretty sure there are no restrictions!

I can't wait! I actually earned new products during SAT so I am anxious to hear about the new products and the different levels!

Does Leadership actually start on Thursday?

[cookn' katie]

I think we can post here since their is only one group. I am positive that we did last year. I am getting excited!!! I feel like a kid all over again. I have my wish list. My director will be calling me on Thur after new product announcement so I will post any info I get. Everyone else please do the same!! I need to check the agenda to see what time the session gets over! Katie

[janetupnorth]

Thanks Katie - I wouldn't get to hear until late and am very busy at work now so it'll be great to pop in and see/hear!!!!

[straitfan]

I know that all the frenzied posting during Leadership my first year made me just HAVE to go to NC so I could get in all the excitement first hand instead of vicariously!!! LOL! Now to just work on promoting so I can go to Leadership too. (although that would probably NEVER work with my school schedule.)

Alas, this is the last Leadership. It only take's two. :)

I am quite excited to see what type's of meeting's they are going to be bringing to us.

[whiteyteresa]

Is there anyone taking down e-mail addresses if so here is mine
(it will be easier to go through e-mail that many posts)

whiteyteresa@<hidden email>

or could you text me - 240-362-2351

tomorrow is my daughters 9th birthday and I will be out most of the day getting ready for her surprise dinner party tomorrow night with family and then a surprise roller skating party Saturday afternoon with friends - so I won't be around my computer that much until bedtime about midnight and I really don't want to wait that long if I don't have to

:chef:

veronica@<hidden email>

I had planned to go then found out I couldn't, really wanted too!

[chefjeanine]

Hopefully those attending Leadership will just come on and post. It's not like National Conference. . .there is no need to keep things secret before the next group arrives. All of us who would like to be there with you are waiting. . . :)

Yeah - I was wondering why everyone was posting email addresses?:confused:

[positiveone4u]

please add me too: 2pcladies@<hidden email>

[sstqman]

please add me.... sstqman@<hidden email>

[straitfan]

I'm pretty sure that the attendees will just post here rather than compiling an e-mail list. No need to post your e-mail address....

Nothing is a secret once it's announced...........

[rbvernon]

I can't wait to hear what is going on!!! :D

[AnnieBee]

Umm, also, no one has actually offered to email out news...

I'm sure it will all be posted soon :)

[jrny2001]

What time does Leadership start?
When should I check back for info.
Can't wait to hear...

[babywings76]

Umm, also, no one has actually offered to email out news...

I'm sure it will all be posted soon :)

LOL I was thinking the same thing. :)

[smithcooking]

It looks like according to the agenda sheet that they are not opening the booth/product showcase room does not open until 5:00 this afternoon. Leadership started at 1:00 with general session. So hope that we will hear something after 5:00 and that is probably mountain time.

Can't wait to hear the news!

[Di_Can_Cook]

Yes, just come on and POST .... I realize some of you would prefer the convenience of reading it all in an e-mail ... but these are people who have long, long days ahead of them and are lucky to have any internet access at all .... it is easier for them to JUST POST than to sort through this thread and send out a dozen e-mails ...

Waiting with baited breath .... thanks for the agenda info!

[babywings76]

I am so excited to find out what we earned from SAT! And I'm curious what recruiting and host specials await us in the future! :)

[ChefChris]

I am waiting on pins and needles to find out the new products, recruiting specials and upcoming host specials. Thanks to leadership attendees for letting us know - much appreciated.

[debbieskitchenhelper]

Please add me also,, debbieskitchenhelp@<hidden email>.

Thanks
Debbie.

[merego]

I just heard from Wades girl about al the new products and the new recipes, are we allowed to post? I don't want to get nayone in trouble.

[pcchefjane]

I think it was originally because someone said they weren't hear very often and to email the info. For the sake of all those who got to go to Leadership, if you want the news, make it a point to come on here! It's not really fair to those who are out there to be expected to email all of the ones who say they don't have time to come on. I guess to me it is how important knowing what is going on is... You can also have this thread updates sent to you via email. Go to your profile to find out how...

[smithcooking]

This isn't like National Conference. When they tell you that you have to wait until after the third wave hears what is going on.

You can post. If you go back and look what everyone else has typed in they have said that people posted the same day that they heard about stuff.

[merego]

Ok, here is goes:

[merego]

Pineapple Wedger
small sheet pan
square baking pan
sautee tongs
white stoneware pieces including DCB
2 new sizes collapsible bowl, in green
new crinkle cutter
chip and dip bowl
stainless steamer ( she typed rteamer, so I am assuming steamer??)
garlic peeler and garlic slicer
garlic press with new tool that snaps into the handle

[merego]

kernal cutter
collapsible strainer that fits into cutting board with cups
bamboo grinder stand and cracker platter
bamboo snack bowl
bamboo prep towels
2 bamboo platters and large bowl
Recipes:
mexican chicken Lasagna in the DCB
Dinner in no time theme show
Keeping it Cool
Great No Bake Desserts

[AnnieBee]

Awesome! Thanks Meredith :)

Love all of the bamboo!

[smithcooking]

To bad that someone wouldn't have a scanner that they could send us all of the info.

[merego]

new pantry items:
2 different sauces
2 dipping seasonings
29 minutes to dinner volume 2

the text keep coming....... :)

[pcchefjane]

How exciting! I have several customers who love cookbooks!

[LeslieSGI]

Heck! I LOVE cookbooks and the fact that there will be more of the 29 minutes recipes - WOOHOO! Hope they are good ones.

[jwpamp]

Wow, I am very impressed with these items. It is a good day!

[missydivine]

Thanks for posting. Have you found out what's being discontinued?

[merego]

Thanks for posting. Have you found out what's being discontinued?

No, she didn't say. I am trying to find the mng time for her now. anyone know, isn't very clear on the post as to if they decided an exact time.

[Di_Can_Cook]

Discontinued items are generally released on the last day. At conference, the only thing we heard in general session that is being discontinued was the chilzanne line.

I'll be interested in hearing sizes of the collapsable bowls, more details of the white stoneware and shopping bags, descrptions of the collapsable strainer and other details. Also, I'm a bit miffed that they redesigned my garlic press.

[gailz2]

Wow, very exciting new products! I wonder if the new DCB is white or actually a french vanilla.

[merego]

she said white, but white seems odd to me.

[kam]

Thanks for posting! Can't wait for pics - but the info so far is great! I am excited about many of the products.

I always look forward to the recipes so I am really excited to see a new cookbook!

[VeronicaW]

I suppose the white stoneware will look nice on our tables w/the white SA dishes.

[Cindycooks]

I'm picturing white - like the white corning ware....its pretty! I'm just worried about it staining.

[mdmomof3]

Can you send me the news also. I can't wait to see pictures also. This site is the greatest. Thanks for the news. Please send it to dschu43455@<hidden email>. Have a great day.

[mdmomof3]

Can you email me also. thanks dschu43455@<hidden email>

ALL OF YOU POSTING EMAILS!!!

You will not be getting personal emails with info - all of the info is being posted on another thread called:

JUST LEADERSHIP NEWS DAY #1

[rennea]

I think you could type this a million times Becky!!!;) Very annoying when people don't read before they post.

Sorry to sound b*tchy, but if your so interested in knowing what the news is maybe you should be reading the thread first!!

[leftymac]

Amen, sister! By the way, can you email me the leadership info? ;)

[rennea]

Amen, sister! By the way, can you email me the leadership info? ;)


Bahhhha, your always sooo funny!!!!! :D:p:D

[smithcooking]

I would let them just keep posting that they want it sent to them by email and when they don't get anything then they might figure it out. That is kind of rude of me to say, but if they can't get it after how many post of people telling them that another thread has been started with all of this information on. Then it is there own fault for not reading the other post before they start typing.

[Di_Can_Cook]

Oh my goodness ... when I posted that I was back from Wave 1 you would not BELIEVE all the people who PM'd me wanting to know the details ... like I was going to PM or e-mail info I was not allowed to post?

Keith ... I'll show ya yours if you show me mine .... ;)

[straitfan]

Glad to see I'm not the only one getting frustrated. I've been trying to figure out how to draw a picture!!!

[pcchefjane]

The dumb thing is, they could just have this thread and/or the other one emailed to them. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who post something in answer to the beginning of a thread and it was answered pages before that. I always read every post before I respond so I don't look dumb! LOL! Maybe some people don't understand how this works....?

[Shawnna]

I am so excited about these products...I just received an ABC distributing catalog yesterday and they had a pineapple/melon wedger and I thought it was so awesome. I thought immediately that I was going to order it but then thought maybe we will get one in the new product line for spring...woohoo. I like our current garlic press, but wouldn't mind it being bigger...this is the best garlic press on the market. I have tried many and they don't cut it. I can't wait for pictures...I'm wondering about bamboo prep towels. I am now going to go check the other two threads. I was actually thinking of quitting PC because I haven't really been excited about the past 2 seasons products. But this line is getting me pumped up again. I'll see you all a NC...

[straitfan]

Oh yeah, when Shawna mentioned the bamboo prep towels, that's the other thing my upline said they got yesterday as "gifts". Lucky dogs!

Forgive me for being blond but are these towls or bowls?? And I cant imagine bamboo towels being very soft/flexible

[chefjeanine]

Towel. I love, love, love my bamboo socks. I think you'll be surprised.

[chefsteph07]

Bamboo socks???
Please elaborate on this!

[chefjeanine]

Bamboo socks???
Please elaborate on this!

They look like regular socks. I purchased them at TJMaxx. Very soft and comfortable. They're sports socks. White with a dash of color.

[PamperedDor]

I thought it was bamboo prep bowls - its towels?? HUH????????

[koima]

Bamboo towels aren't that unusual.
Lands' End Bamboo Bath Towel - Model L0210 at Sears.com (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_096L0210000P?vName=For%20the%20Home&cName=Bath&sName=Various%20Coordinates&psid=FROOGLE01&sid=IDx20070921x00003a)

Hopefully they'll be nice!

[prepchef]

What is Bamboo Fabric? (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bamboo-fabric.htm)

Check out this site about bamboo fabric.

[raebates]

Bamboo fabric is very eco-friendly.

[prepchef]

Ya, so I thought we could do some research and help our customers understand the benefits!

[chefmeg]

you can make anything out of bamboo, so the benefits for using it, no matter what you are using it for, are the same as what we have already been telling our customers~eco-friendly (one tree makes about 600 paper bags and the average family uses 500 bags/year; you know about plastic bags and how they can live in a landfill forever!), it grows rapidly and PC uses the kind of bamboo that to pandas DON'T eat for food!

[straitfan]

Thanks for the site Rich! Even though I had heard of Bamboo socks and towels before, I appreciate all the facts. Lots of great selling points.

[Teresa Lynn]

my boys have bamboo sheets at college and always say how soft they are.

No one is sending out e-mails. ;)
Everything you would want to know and MORE is posted in the Leadership Day 1 and Day 2 threads.

[Pamper the Chef in You]

yeah...sorry. I'm sleepy. I forgot to go to the last page. I just went to the bottom of the first page. Sleepy...or just a blonde moment.

[pampchefrhondab]

Wow, I've been asleep the last two days! I thought Leadership was NEXT week and didn't even look at this post until a few minutes ago! (I guess my mind has been on purchasing a new washer and dryer!!)

I'm excited about these products. Not sure about white stones though - can't wait to see them. I hope the garlic press is as good of quality as our current one because I also agree it is the best.

The towels sound awesome, although I just love our old white/tan towels and have a nice supply of them! I hope the new ones are also white/tan. I guess that would go nice w/the new stones since they are tan on the inside and white on the outside:)!

[allisonserna]

any pics yet?

[BettieC]

I'm waiting on pics too :)

[zmom58]

They must all be too busy to post pics or too tired!
Deb

[straitfan]

When I talked to my upline last night, she said that she had run into DebbieJ and she said that she had send SOMEONE pics and they were supposed to be posting them. I told her we WERE STILL WAITING! ANXIOUSLY!!!!

ChefAnn posted on the day 3 thread that the Special Edition Consultant News will be posted on CC this afternoon along with the new Director structure, so even if no one posts them, we'll get to see pictures in a few hours.

[mdmomof3]

Can you add me to the list please dschu43455@<hidden email> thanks

[straitfan]

Auuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[Di_Can_Cook]
