I am not sure how but I goofed on my numbers. I re-read the Fundraiser info and according to the flyer, the total guest sales is what the donation is base don, not the commissionable sales. So...(and my numbers were still goofed up and you all know I love to brag!)
Dinner By Candle Light: $308.85 ($61.77); 14 pink items + 3 bookings = $84.77
The month long: $3523.78 ($880.94); 55 pink itmes + with 14 items + 3 bookings = $944.94
I bought each of the items to have a double set + $4
I also bought 10 sets of the new pins - which I can not find to save my soul!
So, with all that it comes to $958.94.
Linda it is a cool thought but I highly doubt that I will make either the list for top 10 fundraisers or top 10 donation amounts. I just do not think that is possible. You know there are full timers out there that will beat that easily.
I just feel good tha tthe hard work paid off.
I have to laugh though, it is over but it is NOT over. I found out I should be receiveing all the goods except the direct ships probably Wednesday. Then I have to seperate it, deliver it to the pick up points and I still have to collect $$ from two ladies! I had two of the booked parties already this past weekend and one next Sunday. I was a bad person though and because I got so sick the 31st, I did not call one of the people to book their party. I have to get it doen but I want to do this when I do not sound so tired and disinterested that it really turns them off!
Anyway, I am good with what I did and I hope everyone is even if you only bought some stuff yourself! It all helps!
