Ok, I have something to offer....

I noticed a while back here at work that we had some business card pages as posted above (Avery 76009). They are set up to go in a binder (3 holes punched) in it and will hold 10 cards (20 back to back) but for what we are doing I think we only want 10 cards so they can see the info on the back.

These have been in the supply room for years not being used and I know that things like this will just get thrown away when they realize they are taking up space. I could send a couple pages to anyone who wants them if they will send me a SASE. I have not looked at the cost of the pages but the packages have 10 pages to a pack and would split them out according to how many we need here - say 2 pages per person which would give you room for 20 cards. Right now I know have enough for 30 people and there are more in the store room AND I even have some that have a tab on them so you could put a label for people to know where to find that page. These are Avery item number 76004 if you want to see them.

I suggest the envelope be a large flat enevelope so the pages don't get bent or wrinkled but that would be your choice.

Maybe this is a dumb idea or making things too complicated but let me know.

Now it is my turn I did not mean to highjack anyone else's ideas here just to contribute

I think it is great. I could use the 3-ring binder covers as I use the black recruiting binder from PC.
 
Kim - I would like to have a couple as well.

I will be on vacation all of next week, so please don't forget me! :)
 
I want in also. I think this will be a great recruiting tool (and I need the assistance!!)

I would like some of the page protector things too!
 
I'd like to be included. Do you have any feeling for how many folks you want?

If, say, it's 30 and we end up with 60 names, everyone sends in 30 cards and get 30 back. It just might not be the same 30 as everyone else. What numbers is everyone else thinking?

--Jenny L
 
I got the impression we will send in enough cards for everyone to receive one card from everyone.

I haven't counted yet but doubt we have 30 names yet since there have been some double posts. I may have messed things up with the suggestion of the pages & some people may have reposted that they want them. I thought I would figure it out next week. I have a ton of these pages so that shouldn't be a problem. I just said 30 previously to say I have enough for 30 to get 2 pages each thinking we wouldn't need more than space for 20 cards. (and those are just the ones I have my desk - not counting the ones that you can put a tab on)
 
Business CardsI'd like to be included in the business card exchange too. Please let me know what I need to do. I just signed someone on Wednesday and am hoping to sign another on my Monday show. Thanks to those that are organizing this! :-)
 
I would love to do it also :) Please let me know where, when, how much to send...

I'm adding in some extra presents for Kelly just to thank her for doing this hehe :)
 
I am a new consultant and I am interested. I am ordering business cards soon.
 
I would love to be in on this too.
 
Having just gotten back to chefsuccess after a few months' absence, I just have to ask: who is Paige & what happened to her?
 
Jill, she's a member here, a Director from CO, who's been missing since the end of June. There's a HUGE thread about it at the top of the Lounge.
