Which guest special do I use, April's or May's?

Thanks!
Stephanie
 
it's up to you. If you use April's, it MUST be turned in by May 15th.I would personally use May's so you can raise money for Help Whip Cancer at the same time.

Thanks Deb! If it closes as a May show, and it's strictly an organization fundraiser, they'll get the proceeds from the show correct? HWC would get the donation off May guest specials?

Thanks!

My thoughts exactly Deb. Plus, that gives you a good buffer incase it can not close by the 15th! You never what could happen. And there is nothing worse than starting something one month, finishing in the next, only to be delayed at deadline. Then ypui have to go through and changing every single order that qualified for LAST MONTH'S Guest special! And as there is no freebie in May, you would have to call everyone that did order April's guest special and tell them sorry. Been there, done that and it is painful!
