Who May Find This Useful

That's it- just the monthly calendar. Canadians receive one that has weekly planning pages, but U.S. consultants just get the calendar.
 
hmm so if a person just signed this week I wonder if they will get one? or have to buy it?

I would think it would be in their new kit. HO told me anyone who signs after 1/30 would have all spring paperwork in their kit. I've seen it said on here that it would be a mixture of fall and spring. Maybe one of the new consultants who just got a kit could say for sure?

Hmm I think I'd like the one with the planner also. Would sure save me money on notepads and sticky notes. lol
 
I think I am going to have to go find some money so that I can go shopping Ann
