Now, I am going to ask a stupid question here. Rae you will probably know the answer to this as I have a tendancy to skip the fine print on everything and find fun surprises I had no idea I earned. But, I read the HWC info and I believe that all the Round ups still go to Feeding America in May, right? I put that on all my order forms so I hope it was true. But if it went to HWC that is OK with me as well. I reread it again and still can nto quite decide if I am reading it correctly. (Just call me numb for right now!)

Yes, even during May the Round-Up donations go to Feeding America. That's been the case ever since RU went to all-year.
 
Thanks Ann! I thought so. And I am doing the trivets as my hostess gifts just for hosting. Funny how I can't sell the darn things but give them away and they are appreciated. People are so fickle!
 
I did know the answer, John, but Ann beat me to it. ;) I tend to read all of the fine print. Remembering it is sometimes an issue.

My people kind of go in waves with the trivel. I sell a lot around Christmas because I push it as a great gift for teachers, coaches, etc.
 
Does anybody have the product #'s for the HWC products for October ???
 
They don't necessarily do HWC in October. Last year I think the HWC products from May were available from the Outlet in October.
 
Do you mabey have the #'s for them still....??
 
I never had the numbers. Sorry.
