Quick question: Does a $1 from each pink product earned get donated to The American Cancer Society?

yes, the money goes to the American Cancer society.
and in regard to being able to sell w/o the products, do you carry everything that you sell at every party? no, of course not. If you did not earn the HWC products, don't panic! Bring a flier with the picture of all the new HWC products. Or purchase the one or two products that you really want and show them. If you know someone who already owns the green tomato knife, see if you could borrow theirs for your shows - the only difference is the color. Same with the martini glasses.

good luck!
 
Not trying to be a pain.....just want to be absolutely sure before I tell the team...

Even if we didn't buy our earned Pink products...$1 is still donated?

Thanks for your patience!

Laurie - I know in the past that has been the case, but I don't see anything in any of the HWC flyers for this year that say that.

I think YOU (:D) should call HO and find out for sure for all of us! :D:D:D
 
I'm not sure if the ones we earned also meant a $1 contribution was made. I wonder if we look back to the CN, if it says anything on the promotions fine details.

LOL....ok, dialing....will post info.
 
Becky, we must have been typing at the same time. So you looked through the flyers and no mention, huh? Oh well, I guess it is a question for HO. Thanks for checking! :) I was just about to go on the hunt. ;)
 
Sadly, $1 will NOT be donated for our earned items. :(

This is per Rosie at Solution Center. That's too bad, but I'll just have to donate $5 at a show to make it up. :)
 
They told us at Spring Fling that they are donating $1 for every item earned. I am thinking Rosie at SC might be wrong, because it was the sales director or whatever her title was so told us at Spring Fling.

I called again to confirm. Liliana at SC put me on hold to verify. She states that only purchased pink items will result in $1 donation. She said our earned items will not.

Not sure who the sales director was, but I'll just assume no money from our earned items will come about. I'll add my $5 donation, and if the info was wrong...no biggie...a bonus $5 for TACS is a good thing.
