Well I'm pretty non-creative this month & my meeting is on Wednesday......HUH!!
it's just one of those weeks :bugeye:
 
I am with you Anne~here is what I have so far, all adopted from others on DCS!

for recruiting: make copies of the Empowering Women magazine articles and have the group go through them and see if they can pick out the "why" and come up with language to use at shows for that why.

for training: I am doing Kris's "coaching to $1,000 show" that was on our DCS call last night~check out the thread and listen to the recorded call...it is really good.

I love the "tricks & treats" we got from exec seminar, but I think I may just have that given out as a flyer.

I think I am going to ask someone to bring a "pumpkin" recipe
 
I too am running short of time to plan. But what little time I have had to think...
TRICKS:
I am going to have my FD present Power cooking ideas
Going to TRY to cost a few recipes
Try to breakdown all of the uses for some of our higher priced items such as pans, Cranberry Baker.

TREATS:
I am going to give them all a calendar for attending the meeting
And I like the pumpkin recipe.

Gotta run for now...just random thoughts for now!!!
