The Word document is too large to upload here (lots of pics!) so I'm going to have to figure out a way to shrink the resolution of the photos and re-upload it... unless Greg can figure out a way to grant me more filesize access <grin>...

Joy, your images came through just great. One question. Did you intend to say that the Hostess is also eligible for the Guest Specials? I like the nice clean, uncluttered format you have used. If they want more information, they can go to your website.
 
You did a great job Joy, as usual! LOVE IT!
 
I wish I could use the sizzles too for each month but our sales requirements are different - they need $650 for level 2 *sigh*

Is there a free program that would let me change the amount neatly in this pdf? If so, then I could actually use it and put it in my packs for my show tomorrow night! THAT would be awesome since I already use and LOVE Joy's newsletters!!

Jodi - you can download the word doc from TTConnect... I just can't get the filesize below 2MB to post it here.
 
Dang! Duh me! :rolleyes:Thanks Joy!!! :)
 
Joy, you did an awesome job! I think you meant to say at the top...In addition to our Fabulous Host Benefits our hosts are eligible for the monthly GUEST special instead of host again. Thanks Joy for doing this! Donna

No, I meant Host. In addition to the regular Host benefits (FPV, 1/2 price item, free shipping), the host is also eligible for the host benefit (the 60% off special)...
