Okay, today started out as a horrible day. Then as I was getting off from work, my host for Saturday called. She has $200 in outside orders. Her goal is $700. And she says she's been so surprised because tons of people have been telling her that they are coming plus bringing 2-3 friends! She's a teacher and she invited every teacher in the school. I am tickled to death! Then, when I got home, I had a message on the machine from the Relay for life here in town. They are going to send an email to all relay for life teams in the county talking about the HWC fundraiser and encouraging them to do one. I am so excited!! I just had to share. It helped a really bad day get much better.
God bless,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,I am so happy to hear that your day turned around and you received such great news! It sounds like your host is doing an amazing job and I am sure your party will be a huge success with all the outside orders and guests she has invited. And the fact that the relay for life teams in the county will be promoting the HWC fundraiser is fantastic! You are making a positive impact not only in your business but also in your community. Keep up the great work and I wish you all the best for a successful party and fundraiser.Sincerely,
