What is the HWC campaign in October and how can you get involved?

So they do the HWC campaign in May, then what do they do in October, or what is the difference between their 2 times of year? I did see that they do make our webpage pink in October, I'm pretty excited about that!

In October the items are available on our websites only. Guests and hosts cannot order them as part of a show (at least that is how they did it last year). They were outlet items.

That's right. HWC has been in May since PC started it; it's only been the past couple of years that HO has added HWC items in October. One of the reasons I've heard for the choice of May is so that our items aren't lost in the shuffle of pink things that are offered in October.

Wonder when it will post to CC? I'd love to start getting this out to everyone!

For some reason I was under the impression that we could also do HWC fundraisers in October.

Ah, here's what CC says:
