Cause-related organizations? What does that mean? :confused:
 
I suppose it means you can't raise funds for a group of stoners trying to legalize pot.
 
Dude - (taking a puff) That is so wrong

LOL! I am so tired
 
ROTFLMAO!!!

There is a big difference between stoners and hippies.
 
Guess I am getting old - I guess I should have said I was taking a hit

LOL!

But it is for medicinal purposes
 
joint, bong, pipe, roach, pot, weed, grass, hit, bowl, maui wowie, sticky, high, wasted...

I'm miss innocent, so I know I missed a bunch of terminology. I think I'll organize a fundraiser for terminology research.
 
'Cause-related' is very ambiguous. I'm supporting a mission trip fundraiser...can I assume that is okay?
 
I don't think that falls under the "inconsistent with The Pampered Chef brand image and reputation. I think what they're trying to avoid is the PC name being linked with controversial issues.
 
hey come to canada you can get a prescription for pot up here lol
 
Hopefully, the mission isn't headed to join forces with the Iraqi's. That might be a controversal way to link PChef's name.
 
I think that if you refer to The Pampered Chef's mission statement that could be helpful. When in doubt call the home office.
