Ok, I finally got through to HO today and the person I spoke with (brain fart, can't remember her name), said they have heard nothing either and lots of consultants are calling in asking for them, so she's "hoping" they are working on something.

She said to just keep an eye on the Weekly Bites and hopefully soon there will be something listed.

I was going to reply to post you all talked about these in, and I couldn't find it :confused: so I figured I'd start new thread.

Maybe we all need to call and ask for them?? Or email them??

Well, I just figured they weren't going to offer them. I always like to give a gift to my guests that wear pink in May, so I am ordering the rubber bracelets that are so popular--they are from the breast cancer site and right now they have buy 10, get 10 free. So I ordered 100 but only had to pay for 50. I do a LOT of shows in May (last year I had over $11,000 in sales in May), so I will definitely use them. They work out to be about 50 cents each and for every 10 that are ordered they contribute toward free mammograms for people that can't afford them. I am a breast cancer survivor so this is a big deal to me. They have three different "messages" in pink, I ordered the sisters, mothers and daughters one. Here's the URL:

Nancy~

That is a great site, and a super thing for you to give out at your May shows! I hope you beat your 2006 May sales this year!!!
 
I forget who I heard from, but I think they said we were not doing the pins this year....:(
 
Nancy thank you for the website!! I am going to order some. That is a great idea!!
 
I called support about the pins to, and they told me that they were not going to have them this year. but that was a couple of weeks ago, and maybe they will try to get something together since so many of us are asking for them.

I also asked if they had any "Kickin around" from last year that they would let me buy and they said no.
 
Man, I have a whole bunch of them left over from last year! I couldn't seem to give them away. Guess I'll use them this year!

Congrats on that - my mom is a 2x survivor (15 years apart) so I'm hoping to do some May shows! I have one booked so far but want more!!!!
 
I have a ton of pins left over, too! I tried giving them away but nobody wanted them...now I'm glad I have them!
 
I, too, have a lot of left over pins - both kinds. I think I'll give some to my team to wear and give to their May hosts.
 
Thanks for your story Nancy!

I have been looking for the pins since last night,
Got on ebay this morning and they are going for $5 a peice!!!
You guys have GOLD on your hand!!!!
I can't find them anywhere and I am trying to get some for my Relay For Life Team I am heading up.
 
If anyone is willing to part with some HWC pins, I desperately need some more. I have 25 left from last year, but need about 25 more. I found some on ebay at some really high prices.
 
I just put some up in the Marketplace section last night. I have 10 for sale.
