I'm sure I've been through Wasilla. We drove what I'll call "the oval". We headed North, starting and ending in Anchorage.

Yikes, $100! That is an expensive trip. If you can find a way to cut the costs, go for it! I was luck in that the cluster meetings I drove 2 hours for were on Saturday mornings. Had to get up early but I didn't have to go home in the dark (or dodge moose -- just the occasional deer).

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
 
I really have no excuse for not going in the summer, but in the winter it is treacherous!!
 
Gillian - I attend a workshop that your director and her director did together called Double Digit Recruiting. She was amazing! I got a ton of information to use out of it. I really hope that you can make some of the cluster meetings.

I'd sell my ruby ring and most of the other "rewards" for reaching the much higher levels. With two small kids I don't need/want anything glass - no matter how beautiful it is. Perhaps once I get to that level I'll appreciate these finer items. But, hey, I don't see what someone selling their ring has to do with not liking this site.
 
Did she run the double digit recruiting class? I am not surprised! I hear that she is an awesome recruiter. I was assigned to her because my recruiter dropped out. I have only met her two or three times. I was all talked into going to the meeting this Monday, but I just got an e-mail from her saying it will be pirate themed and you have to wear a puffy shirt, eye patch and pirate crap. So....now I am not thrilled about going!
 
I think Jana's director was suppose to be running it, but I didn't really get anything out of what she said. Once she turned things over to Jana that is when I really started to take notes. My hospitality director and my director were in the workshop with me and seemed to get more out of what Jana said as well.

Hmmm. Now you HAVE to go so you can tell us all what that was about. :rolleyes: Maybe someone will want to use the "pirate idea" it at their next cluster meeting! At least it sounds like it will not be dull.
 
It is something about a treasure hunt towards TPC. Here is what she said in the e-mail.

Consultants and their guests (potential recruits) are invited to our Pampered Chef Pirate Cluster mtg Monday, July 24th at 6:30pm. Dress in your favorite pirate puffy shirt, your eye patch, or whatever pirate garb you have. Please bring a Pampered Chef recipe to share and we won't have to make you walk the plank!

Now is the time to plan for the Golden treasures that await you when you earn an incentive trip.

Top Performance Cluster is achievable and your Director will reward you when you get 1/2 way. Your treasure map to success starts with attending Cluster meetings. At each meeting we will be giving you clues get you closer to your goal! X marks the spot! Mark your goal and uncover your treasure!
