I just wanted to remind you all of a saying I heard on a conf. workshop tape that has really made a difference to me this month.

People want to help you if you let them know how they can.

When I looked at my calendar on Friday, June 1 i had only 3 shows on my calendar -- two on June 23rd and one on June 25th. After asking a few people for help I have now:

1 catalog fundraiser
2 catalog shows
5 kitchen shows

The are all being held/closing between June 20-30th so that will be a busy 10 days, but hoping for the $6000 for fall products!!!
 
It was nice to read that on Friday your June was as crappy as mine is, but now you are MUCH better. I needed that reminder and encouragement. Thanks!!!!!
 
I'm hoping to do the same this week. I've had a really hard time getting anyone on the phone--mostly answering machines. So I'm hoping now that Memorial Day is over, people will be home more. I have a lot of people who have said yes to hosting that I want to talk to. I have 5 shows this month, but I'm wanting 8-10! The third week of June I have nothing & only one show the last week, so I'm hoping to fill those up!

congrats on doing that for yourself!
