So I just checked my report for my RUFTH donations and I'm $8.64 shy of the $200 in donations from rounding up on the orders. Online it says that for ribbon/lanyard recognition at Conference we need a combined $200 for the RUFTH Program. It doesn't seem to show on my report the $2.00 from each trivet but I did another report and I have sold 24 trivets in the specified timeline. Can I figure that they add $48 to my $191.36?

Just wondering if I need to help myself by $8.00 because if I knew I missed it over something that small - I'd be very disappointed at myself.

Thank you in advance.
 
You should be fine, well over the $200 with the combined donations and trivet sales. Just be sure you ran your report from Sept. 1, 2009 til now, not a full 12 months.

Good job!! Think about how many people you helped feed.
 
Are they combining RUFTH AND HWC or is it $200 each?

How I read this...its for each one, not combined:
"Get Recognized at Conference for the Money You Raised for Our Charitable Giving Programs" Consultants who raise $200 for Help Whip Cancer® or Round-Up From the Heart® will be recognized at National Conference.

It is so great that PC has done this. I remember many years ago when I first went to a PC party I thought this was an indicator of a good company. I'm glad it continues.

If anyone out there is trying to lose weight, like me, you can earn more donations for your local food bank by making a pledge (to lose weight) at pound for pound, through the Biggest Loser. Here's a link:

Mine did the same thing. The report does not combine the donations with the trivets. Glad I looked tho because I had $166.10 in donations and then sold 22 trivets!!! First time in 3 years I have had the $200 in donations :)
