Chefbeckyd said:I know Ginger is in the area that was hit hard. Haven't heard anything from her since - here or on Facebook. Praying that she is safe!
Knowing Ginger, she's probably so busy helping everyone else, she hasn't had time to let people know that she's okay.
I'm here, safe & sound. It was pretty crazy, but a lot of people were affected SO bad & my heart goes out to each & everyone of them. Right now I think the WORST part is the way PC is treating us
I had 2 girls give me their small shows so we could all be active & the police came to my door & we had to evacuate! We lost power for 4 days & lost Cable,Internet & Phone for 5 days. When I finally was able to call PC & tell them what happened & If we were getting an extention, they said NO!!! So for the first time in over a year, I will not be or get paid as a Director even though my sales were 3000.00 & Team sales were over 5000.00. I didn't want to bother my NED or my D because they are both from a town on Long Island that is under water I spoke with Jan Gilbert who also said there is nothing she can do. BUT that in the future, I should get my girls to submit earlier in the month, so this won't happen!!! :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy: WHAT!!!! I have 1 friend that still has no power what so ever & couldn't put in her 4th show & is being denied her charm!!! BUT a few months ago, they gave EVERYONE 2 extra months to earn excellence awards! I really, really, don't understand how a company that I have LOVED for the last 7 years is just turning their backs on us! OH & BTW, the FIRST time I went to put on the bracelet it broke!! 
I didn't want to post this on FB ( although I REALLY wanted to) for fear of giving us a bad name, BUT I bet if my customers saw, they would be writing them how they feel. OK, enough negativity.... Onward towards November & December

A Consultant residing in FEMA-declared (Federal
Emergency Management Agency) disaster area or a
county under mandatory evacuation is eligible to apply
for consideration for the following circumstances:
• A make-up month can be requested to earn the
Consultant sales and/or recruiting promotion that
was in effect the month of the disaster. The makeup
month will be the third month after the disaster
occurs. For example, if the disaster or mandatory
evacuation occurred in September, the make-up
month would be December.
A one month extension can be requested, for either
the month the disaster occurred or the month
following. This special extension will not be counted
against the one month extension of time allowed
within any 12-month period.
• The extension period will not be counted toward
the six months of continuous inactivity, after
which the Consultant Agreement is dissolved.
• For a Director, the one-month extension waives
the $750 Personal Sales requirement. The
Director’s monthly Personal Team sales and
structure requirements must be met in order for
the Director to be considered “qualified” for the
month. this means the upline Director can count
the Director as a qualified Director toward
the upline Director’s organization structure
requirement (for Advanced Director and
above).
The paid-as level for a Director or above on an
approved extension is determined by the level
requirements for which they qualify (except for the
Personal Sales requirement, which is waived).
• A one month extension of the New Consultant
Rewards Program can be requested. Should a
natural disaster or mandatory evacuation occur
within the first 30 days of the New Consultant
Rewards Program the 30 and the 90-day end
dates will each be extended an additional thirty
days. Should a natural disaster or mandatory
evacuation occur between the 31st and 90th
day, the 90-day end date will be extended an
additional thirty days.
Disaster Occurs within the first 30 days
For example: A New Consultant’s 30-day end
date is Feb. 27; the 90-day end date is April 30
(since April 28 falls on a weekend). A disaster
occurs on February 10. If approved, the new
30-day end date will be March 29. The 90-day
period will be extended to May 30.
Disaster Occurs between the 31st and the 90th
day
For example: A New Consultant’s 30-day end
date is Feb. 27; the 90-day end date is April 30
(since April 28 falls on a weekend). A disaster
occurs on April 6. If approved, the 30-day end
date remains Feb. 27. The 90-day period will be
extended to May 30.
• A one month extension can be requested for
the reversion or rebuild periods for Directors
who live in the FEMA-declared disaster or
mandatory evacuation area.
These allowances do not apply to upper level
Director Travel requirements, Director overrides,
host promotions, guest specials, The Pampered
Chef® Excellence Awards and annual incentive
programs. If a Consultant earned the monthly sales or
recruiting promotion in the original month offered,
he/she is not eligible to earn it again as part of the
natural disaster program.
Requests for consideration under the Natural Disaster
program must be made in writing to
[email protected] no later than the
last day of the month following the month the disaster
or mandatory evacuation was declared. Proof of
residency in a FEMA-declared county may be
requested. Approval (or denial) of the request will be
provided in writing.
