Way to go on the progress already! That is definitely a great start!Did Corporate question why you would do it as a Cooking vs. Catalog show? If you didn't actually cook, they will probably mention that it should be a Fundraiser or Catalog. ;)What's your commission level? Could you just put it in as a Catalog Show so that the "host" (you or her) would qualify for the apron & then donate your commission directly? With a $700 show you are looking at $140 minimum (at 20%). ;)Susan: Ask permission from a current host first, then put the past host in as a co-host on a current show (no benefits) and re-enter her guest with a booking & no purchases. Your past host will then have the booking benefit of her guest. ;)

That's very sweet of you! :D
