Hi! I wanted to start a fundraiser catalog show for the HWC. I'm planning on going around to various businesses and leaving order forms for the pink items but of course anyone can order other items if they like. My question is how soon can I start this? I only have 3 may dates left open so if anyone wanted to book a May show they'd need to do it soon and that will be offered in order for them to get the may host special and for the HWC fundraiser to get the booking benefit. I just don't know when I should start. Thanks everyone!
God bless,
Amanda
 
You can start it now, if it's just a catalog show. And then you can submit them on May 1.
 
I have a May catalog show going already. I plan to submit it May 1st.
 
I also have a May HWC catalog show/fundraiser going and will be submitting it May 1st.
 
I have a stupid question! How do the HWC fundraisers work on book shows? Does the hostess still get free or discounted products? How do the benefits work? Also, can a soccer team that is not tax exempt still have a fundraiser? I want to get started on this soon so any help from you great ladies and men would be a blessing. Thanks Lynn
 
There's a lot of info about how FRs work in the Policies. Hosts of FRs do not get free and discounted products, just the monthly host special. Any group can do a FR.
