:confused: I have just closed on my first fundraiser. I have been a consultant for 8 months. It was over $4,000. It was for 6 Relay for Life team in my county. They collected a total of 167 guest orders. I want to be able to give each guest a Thank You letter. I have been working on some ideas but done of them seem right. I want the letter to say thanks, call me with any questions, concerns, problems, returns, exchanges, to book a show - kitchen, catalog, bridal, etc. Does anyone have any? This is my first time here. I'm not sure how this works. Please contact me at: [email protected]
