It's $150 in donations to get the special lanyard at conference - right?

Does the the $1 from each HWC product count towards this or is it just round-up donations?

Thanks!

I missed the announcement about a lanyard. Where did you see it? I want to make my downline aware of it.

I don't remember. I think it might be in the same anouncement about the Director's event changing to special training. There isn't a special Breakfast of Caring anymore, it will now be the special lanyard and preferred seating at the regular breakfast - I think. Sorry, I don't exactly remember and right now I don't have time to go look it up. I'll try and find it later if someone else doesn't post it first.

The lanyard blurb was in CN - probably March since I'm new and only have gotten 1 I think...
 
Thanks, Janet!! You're SO cool!!!:cool:
 
Is the amount raised for RUFTH the amount the item sells for i.e. Trivet is $12 or the amount that PC donates from it? If you can't tell, I am kind of confused. :confused: I have sold 8 of the trivets I think, so I don't know if that qualifies me or not. TIA
 
All the info was in the special HWC insert in the last CN.
 
Kimmers, it's $2 per trivet, so you have $16 towards the rewards right now.

Plus whatever Round-Up donations made by your customers since September 1.
 
Thanks. Not doing as good as I thought then.:( Still have time though. :)

And donations made by you on supply and sample orders. :) You can always add a big donation to a supply order to bump yourself over. ;)
 
YEAH! I just totalled up my RUFTH donations and trivet sales and I am at $47.52 so far!!!!! I am hoping that I can make it in time!

Don't HOPE! Do it!!

Tell everyone about it and ASK at checkout. Tell them that since PC partnered with Second Harvest Food Banks our customers have donated over $11 million! Tell them that all donations go directly to the local food bank (the bank that covers the area where the show was held), that $1 buys 2 bags of groceries (verified by my local SHFB) and tell them it's an easy way to help people who are having a hard time. We never know when we might be there ourselves. I tell them that my husband was laid off and we came very close to going to a local food bank ourselves but were blessed for him to get employment before we had to use it. No one knows what is around the corner. When I ask at checkout often they say "but that's only $0.02 or $0.24" and I say every penny helps. Often they add a $1 or more!

If you do that you will see a definite increase in donations. BTW: I also give them permission to NOT donate.

I ask EVERYONE at checkout and have about a 90% success rate. Granted that's only 3 shows, but it's working...

always ask! that is the only way!! i just closed a show with 10 guests and all but one did the round up. it made me mad that one didn't spare the 24 cents, but oh well.
 
The lanyards from 05 were great. I used it all the time, but now I have misplaced it. I hope I can find it before conference because it was so handy to carry your ID, money, and even your cell phone.
 
As far as Round Up goes, I tell people that I automatically set it up to round up because 1) You help a good cause and 2) its easier to deal with whole numbers. I also say, "But if you have already planned out your charitible contributions for the year, because I know many do, just let me know, I will will not round up your order."

And, WOW! I looked up my totals and I have 33 trivets @ $2 each = $66 and then $52.84 in contributions is $118.84 total, leaving $31.16 to go. Did I figure that correctly?

Then, I have to do $150 in HWC for the lanyard?

I know the cut off for HWC is June 5th, but what about the RUFTH?
 
How do we find out how much we have roundedup?
 
In Pampered Partner you go to reports, donations, select the date range and it will give you a list.
 
Anne: I believe that you get the lanyard if you have a total of 150 in donations...HWC and RUFTH combined...but you have to have 150 in one or the other for special seating. So, your 31.60 will get your lanyard.
 
Cool! I have $94.54. only 55.46 left.
 
Thanks! I'm sure I'll do the $150 in RUFTH. I would love to do it in HWC, too, but we'll see. At least I know I'll get the lanyard and seating with RUFTH.

The time frame is 9/1/06 to when?
 
"Round-Up from the Heart® contributions are comprised
of sales of the Round-Up from the Heart® 2006 Trivet
and rounded-up donations. Round-Up from the Heart®
contributions are counted between September 1, 2006
and June 5, 2007."
 
THANKS! ... just wasn't sure.
 
Hopefully my math is better than normal -- I'm already at $120! Yay -- HWC should set me over the $150 mark. Thanks for the dates Anne -- I mean Laura!

Anne...You can do it!!!

I have a lanyard that says "I'd rather be knitting" (which I do enjoy doing) with my car keys on it. However, if I earn this lanyard maybe this will drum up more business as I put it around my neck dropping off/picking up kids.

Does the free trivet after conference count towards a donation?

I'm $7.83 away from the lanyard!!!

Thanks, but it was actually Laura who posted the dates.

I'm being positive and declaring that I am going to make it!!! LOL
 
Is there a way in P3 to find out how many we've sold of a certain item, like the trivets?
 
Yes, there is a way in P3 to find out how many trivets you've sold.

Go to Reports > Shows > Highlight Round up from the Heart(r) trivet, change the start date as 9/01/2006 and end date as 4/17/2007 (or whatever date you run the report). Press the Finish button.

Help that helps.

Thanks! Didn't see the Round up the first time I looked. I was expecting to be able to just put in the item # like in PP.

Cool! With my show donations & trivets, I'm at $143!

Now, Ann, is there a way to find out how much we've donated with non-commissionable orders? I looked at the names when I did the donations report, but I didn't see any of mine on there. I usually round up each supply order I do, so that may have me over the $150 already.
