I am really bummed. I am going to have to get with the recuiting!! My last recruit who has been so excited about PC emailed me to tell me she took a teacher job and will not be turning in any shows in July. It will make her inactive...and she says she doesn't care because she is putting all of her energy into teaching. She did say that she had shows lined up for fall and it would put her back on active status. But, I can't depend on that. I want to go to leadership, so I better get to recruiting.

One of my recruits is a 4th grade teacher and works PC into her schedule during the school year. She only does 2-3 cooking shows a month during the school year (typically one catalog show every other month), so it doesn't take over her life. Then on breaks and over the summer, she does lots more.
I would encourage her to try one show a month - or even one every other month so she can build up customers and contacts. Then when she wants to do more in the summer, she will already have the customer base to start with. Plus, she will have contacts to be able to do shows during Christmas and Easter breaks!

OK, so I have committed myself to being a director by October 1st. I might have to be committed by then... anyway. I am looking at my airfare and hotel & I see that I can get airfare from way out west to CVG for $429 plus taxes... etc. Now, I am looking at hotels. I have always hated going to conference or other events because I don't know anyone to stay with. Is there anyone out there that plans to go but doesn't know who to room with?

Do I sound totally desperate???
 
Hello... anyone in Cinncinnati... what can you tell me about The Terrace Hotel. It looks to be about 2 blocks from the convention center & I can get a room for less than $100 a night. Should I do it?

I will be going to Leadership in Cincinatti even if I end up going alone and driving my self- although I hope it doesnt come to that- we only have the one car and the dh will be home with the baby and the boys. I need to start asking around about who is going from the area. My hospitality director isn't going this time- family comes first. The next team meeting is September 8. I hope to hook up with some travel and rooming companions then.

You are right, it is only a few blocks from the convention center - about the same distance as the other hotels. But, I've never been there and even had to look it up on the map because I wasn't familiar with the name. It does look nice though.
 
Do we know yet how much Leadership is going to cost?

I noticed that the number of posts for you has not changed. How exactly does that work? Just curious...

Nevermind..... I just noticed what it did with my posts. If you have posted your last post ALL posts reflect that number. DUH... ;)
