I've gotten to know my FedEx driver pretty well, when the catalogs for the fundraiser were delivered this year...his comment to me "Oh no...are we fundraising again this year?!?"

Okay, so I am new to Chef Success, so bare with me! First of all...THANK YOU everyone for the congratulations on my fundraiser! You all have the potential to achieve this success!! It takes ALOT of organization and attention, but it IS worth it in the end. This is the second year that I...
