Last year my SIL gave me a box of PC stuff that her friend who sold PC some years ago gave her to give to me. There was lots of stickers etc also in the box were some pins and charms. I was wondering if anybody would know what PC gave them out for.
-Little golden key charms
-White and silver charms that look like the Flour/sugar shakers
-Gold charms that look like money bags that have 1000 on them

Anybody know what these were given for??
 
I would assume the money bag charms would be for $1000 show hosts...

Ya, I thought maybe that's what those ones were for. Did anybody want any of these? I do have quite a few if anybody wanted me to send them some. I know that there are a lot of PC charm collectors out there.
 
she was probably a director we used them in our cluster about 7-8 years ago the $$ bags were awarded at meetings to cons. when they had a 1000
show,
The sugar shaker has a poem or catchy phrase it was awarded when they beat their best how average, # of shows etc.
never used the key ones but they were probably something to do with recruiting. Only the sugar shaker was PC (we had several tools charms they attached to a stone charm holder) everything else probably came from SWJ a mail order company.
 
We STILL get the $1000 money bags when we have a $1000 show. I soooo want to get another soon. I have 13 now plus the 1000 charm to hang them on (so 14 $1000 shows) and now I'm in a slump and haven't had any since October :(

Why dont you save them & give them to your Team when YOU make Director!!!;)
 
For a while, my director was offering the charms (she had them in all sorts of product shapes, even the hen-on-the-hat logo) for the consultant with top sales for the cluster. She had pins shaped like a ound stone on a stoneware rack. These had a secondary loop that came down on which to place the charms. She gave the pin and one charm for the first time you had top sales. After that you got to pick a charm. I still wear mine (with oodles of charms, thank you very much ) on my show apron.
 
My director told me that the money bag charms aren't available anymore, that's why she doesn't give them out anymore...bummer. I had a $1000 show and I didn't get my charm, but that's okay too! She gives out "meeting money" instead at out cluster meetings, and then we get to buy PC things once per year with the "cash" we've accumulated...pretty cool!!
