jcwarr, I did the fundraiser for a place in New Jersey that works with mentally handicapped children. I know the directory from another online community. She usually does Avon but wanted to try PC instead. I mailed her 25 catalogs and a copy of a special made fundraiser order form. She made a copies to go w/ each catalog and gave them the parents of all the children that use the center. She was very happy with the turnout and said that when the parents found out they were selling PC they were all excited. She plans on doing another one next year this time which is great!! I am extremely happy with the total since the only work I did was mail the catalogs to her!!
