Bumpety-bump!There's still time to get your Chef Success button before conference! I just posted requests for volunteers for waves 1 and 2 to pass out ribbons at the meet n greets, so cheffers with buttons can have ribbons that correspond to the stars. :)See the first post in this thread for links to the shops with the buttons.

I received my button last week! Love it!
 
What about those of us who are starless?Anyway ... I'll have to get on the stick and get mine ... my anti-Chef Success director won't be with us, so I won't be afraid to wear it!(And just noticed some people were asking why my director was anti-CS ... she warned me of the "negativity" and ... after getting flamed for posting an idea that I later thought better of, I concluded she was right!) That said ... I have since learned to be very careful about what I share on here ... and my NEW director loves the ideas I steal from this site!I just noticed Kelly said she was ordering some ... maybe I should ask her if she has an extra ...

Unfortunately, starless people will also be ribbonless. Kinda like consultants who haven't made career club or other recognition levels at conference. Sorry. (You can make that a goal for next year. ;) )

Many Directors are anti-CS not only because of the negativity, but because it can be very easy for consultants to spend all their time here instead of doing activities that will build their business.
 
I don't even understand what the stars are supposed to mean ....But anyway, it's all good ... I'll have a handy-dandy ribbon for the training courses, so I don't want to be overloaded with ribbons. I just wanted to know if I should get myself a button to match it ...I was already good at wasting time on the internet before CS ... now at least I do it in more productive ways!

LOL! Me too. We're in different waves, but I'll be ribbonless too. I need to "lurk" less and "talk" more!
 
Just ordered my 2.5 inch hot pink one for conference!

I just ordered my hot pink buttons but unfortunately I have not been talkative enough this year as I too am still starless! oh well! What is our post amount that we need for a star and what is our deadline to get a ribbon??

1000 posts, and as long as you have your star by conference, someone at your Meet n Greet will have a ribbon for you.
 
So, I just ordered my buttons (a regular size one and a mini one) for conference. But, didn't order the hot pink....damn.....got too excited! That's okay, may order a t-shirt later on, so we'll see about getting a hot pink one!

Thanks Ann....these are a great idea! :)

I just had a note from Cafe Press that the pricing on the 2.25" buttons (the standard size) is going up as of July 28. That's too late for anyone getting a button to be affected for this year's conferences (even Canada), but will affect those who are waiting for next year. They're going up more than $1 each! :eek:

Thought I'd better add- LAST CHANCE to have them in time for Conference 2008!
I don't handle the production or shipping of these. And although I haven't had a problem with Cafe Press, I don't suggest that you press your luck if you want to have a button for Conference.
 
Don't forget to take a photo with your CS wear at conference! I love to see them! :):thumbup:
