Hi all,

Just wanted to pass along my Curves Fundraiser results so far - I was at my Curves for several hours this morning and evening and so far have a little over $500 in sales - I plan to be there again tomorrow night and still have a few more people I know plan to order. So I'm quite psyched - I just set up a cardtable with a few new products, my tool turnabout and the new BBQ Jumbo Turner (sold 5 of these!) and my cookbooks and recipe cards. Had my pink products out as well - hoping to possibly get some bookings - none so far but hey you never know - if not at least I know we're raising money for a good cause :) April was pretty non existent for me, so I'm quite jazzed - hope everyone's May gets off to a good start!

Wow, that is absolutely awesome! Way to go with the fundraising efforts. That is so exciting! I am hoping for the same great turnout as well. Today I dropped off my flyers to announce that I was going to be there so that the ladies are prepared!
I am bringing my pink definitely, someof the pamphlets from the ACS, and I am raffling off one of my dollar store goodie baskets with a $25 gift certificate redeemable only through me of course!
