Okay so we were chatting about this in the chat box... So I looked it up.
Page 21 of the May 09 CN says...

Staying active is important to growing your
business! So, we’re offering a little encouragement.
Starting in May, Consultants and Senior Consultants who
submit $150 or more in sales for the month will receive a fun,
motivational postcard from the Home Office. These cards will
also provide a tip on how to keep your business active.
Team Leaders and above, encourage your team members to stay
active and qualify for these delightful and inspiring postcards!
And if you receive a postcard for at least three months, you will
also be eligible for an additional surprise!

I love "additional surprises", I'm a consultant that has been active every month and just got my August postcard, just wondering if anyone has any clues?
 
yes i was wondering why i was getting those lol. i thought it was just something my director was doing! but i'm only one away from being elegible...yay!
 
Hmmm, I think I received one post card since May, but have qualified May, June, and July, and I'm a Senior Consultant. Wonder why I didn't get other post cards, and if that makes a difference?
 
I got my third one today! I love surprises, so I apologize for starting the thing in the chatbox, but I was super curious! LOL!
 
I got one today also - it is my second one

:chef:
 
I've got one every month. Personally, it's just a waste to me. It doesn't really inspire me.. The paycheck is my inspiration :)

That thought did cross my mind!
 
Oooooh - a surprise? I LOVE surprises!!!!

I just can't stand waiting for them. LOL
 
Do you think we had to hang on to them to get the surprise? I remember receiving 2 already but did not keep them.
 
I didn't keep mine either and I've also been active all months since May. I think I got two???
hmmm...wonder what it is?
 
Hopefully we didn't have to hang on to them...Got my first a few days ago and just tossed it... Didn' think it was anything :(
 
I remembered reading something about these, and didn't get one in May, and should have. I should have received one every month wonder what we'll get?
 
I know I have been active every month since April and I believe I just got one the other day for my July sales (submitted on the 31st). So I have gotten them for all the 3 months. I too now wonder what the little additional surprise will be!!! My director doesn't do anything like these little postcards for being active.
 
I've been getting them, reading them, and throwing them away... Hope that doesn't matter!
 
I tossed mine too. Hmmm ... Home Office would have the records, right?

I'm such a pack-rat and I was so proud of myself for tossing these. Sigh
 
I keep all forms of congratulations, including the little slips that come in my earned incentives. I haven't gotten my postcard for July yet, but I'll keep it when I get it. :)
 
I kept my July, but not my June - I guess I liked it better! Hope I don't have to have it either!
 
My 2 year old chewed on the butterfly one when we were at applebees the other day- Oh well. :)

Fiber - YUM! LOL
 
anyone received anything yet? I think I have received 3 but I better go check cc to make sure.
 
I only remember getting one of these, but have been active every month. Is there a place where we can check?

I also hope we weren't suppose to hang on to these. I chunked mine after I read it.
 
Nope! But I happened to be looking through the new career plan flip chart, and on page 9 it also says "The Pampered Chef will recognize Consultant and Senior Consultants who are active for three consecutive months!"
 
hhhmmm I am very curious. I checked CC and I was definately active May, June, and July.
 
I've received one every month and kept all of them, but I haven't received any surprise either. :(

Wondering if this recognition got forgotten? Or too many of us were active for 3 months in a row?

I was thinking the same thing. Hmm...
 
I got a post card for August in the mail yesterday and have been active over 3 months.
