I'm actually doing this for September but they are winning products I'll change it up for next month w/a gas card!!

 

[pamela]

WOW! Karen I love this idea!!

 

[baychef]

Thanks for starting this thread. I am so burnt out already and will be leaning on everyone I can to share ideas with.

I am sure they have told us, but when do we get the material sent to us? I would love to do a gift idea around a theme.

 

[finley1991]

For those of you who PMed me about the meeting idea, I have a great invite that is a word template I'd be happy to send along as well. I will e-mail it out to the list that Beth made (if I can find it!!!!) Check your inboxes soon!

Not sure if there is another thread about this, but WHY are they announcing the trip early? Don't they usually do that at Leadership as another "hook" to make it more exciting? I am SOOO curious!

 

[pamela]

I have a feeling that there are more announcements than just the trip~my D and I were talking about it yesterday and we agree that it must be something to do with starting to earn the trip in November or December.....in our minds that meant we are all going to the same location, just different levels will get different goodies!

They only started announcing the trip at leadership in the past five years or so... before then it was always announced at NMD in November.

I think that HO thought (and this is just my personal opinion) that if they did it at leadership, it would inspire more to go to find out. Good idea but it didn't get directors and above to go to Leadership if it wasn't a priority for them in the first place. So they are going back to the old way...

 

[cookinkaren99]

Can you email me your invite for National Meeting Day. THANKS SOOOO MUCH !!

[BethCooks4U]

Karen, I missed your post earlier so I am using your idea to try to get my team to get bookings on their calendars in Dec and Jan. THANKS!

 

[Koolotus]

Hey Carolyn and Beth!
Thank you for the ideas and the template. My invites for the 4 teams came out great and I am sure everyone will LOVE them.

 

[pamela]

I am posting my invite for NMD.....I hope~ya'll know how challenged I am at this stuff!

It is supposed to look like a flight intinerary!

 

[baychef]

Love this idea Meg!!

 

[Koolotus]

Hey, Hey, hey Meg! Don't have them call me!!!
Just Kidding!

Actually I got a phone call from one of the girls that got my invite and she asked me what she needed to pack and how long we would be gone.

I said what!?!
Do you think we are taking you on a trip just for existing?
Geez, glad she wasn't mine.

No way, seriously?! That's hilarious. Oh my goodness.....

 

[Koolotus]

Even better, same girl.
The recruiter asked if she could come to my cook n book for training. I said sure and gave her a call.
We are talking and she wants to know how many shows I am going to book for her. I am like , no, you will book your own shows, the training is to help you do that.
Bursts into tears, telling me I am putting to much pressure on her and how can I do that and she doesn't have a car and blah. cry. blah.
Mental, that one.
So, the phone call yesterday, did not surprise me, except that she actually had enough initiative to call me.

 

[baychef]

All I can say is OMG and WOW!! Truly speechless!

 

[pamela]

DANG! How did she even manage to sign on????????

 

[fruit76loop]

____________________________________________________________

And here is the next email I sent:

Hi Team!!

I hope everyone has opened their evite for this upcoming Cluster connections!!!

You will notice that I have asked you to RSVP to get your boarding pass! The first 4 people to RSVP will be in First Class and will get special treatment upon arrival to the meeting!!

So, make sure you RSVP and then watch for your boarding pass in the mail!!! Those of you in first class will want to look at your boarding pass carefully for your surprise!!!

I can't wait to see all of you and share the TOP SECRET info with you!!!
______________________________________________________

You will see on the boarding passes that First Class gets to board early and we will have sparkling cider in champagne glasses and a couple little appetizers.

I am attaching my boarding pass for my team! It just has my name on it now...but I will change it for each team member as they RSVP. And I will put it in an envelope with a Pampered Chef Luggage Tag and Confetti...thought it would be fun!! I know how fun it is for me to get my Trip package from PC with the luggage tags and fun things to go with it!!

And of course this is the idea I got through Chris Manion...and I love it!!!

 

[Koolotus]

Marlene!! That is awesome!!
I wish I had seen this before
I did something similar with confetti and glitter (I am sure I will pay for that!)
I also sent them a GUEST only boarding pass
there will be a guest only drawing.
I think I might try evite.
Thanks for the idea
Cute for the first class thing.
Might do that also.
I am loving this meeting!

 

[PampMomof3]
