I just read my email from The Pampered Chef about our consultants in the areas struck by Hurricane Katrina. I found it very heart warming that PC understands and will allow those consultants to remain active until the end of the year. And that they are trying to come up with a plan to help rebuild their businesses. In addition to that, the matching donations with Round Up during September is the GREATEST!! I am so pumped to help and cannot wait to explain how my customers can help out the victims of the hurricane and their local food pantries at the sametime!! We really do work for a great company who cares! PC ROCKS!
 
Ditto! I am very proud to be part of an organization that is so quick to help others...
I have called my hosts for September to let them know about the PC match for Round-Up so that they can pass the word on for their outside orders. I plan on spending a lot of time talking about America's Second Harvest and Round-Up at my shows this month especially. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help!
 
I AgreeI agree I was watching the Dateline special last night and was going to contact the head office today to see if I could donate the round -up to the Katrina victims instead of the local food bank. Now they will both benefit.

I was able to experience for myself what an incredible woman Doris is. I had twins in May and one of my daughter's died. Doris hand wrote me a sympathy card, she even took the time to learn my daughter's names! Then I got a sympathy card for the home office. All of these people I had never met and yet I was in all of there prayers!!! I am very proud to be part of such a wonderful company!!!!!!!!
 
I am soooo excited to share what a wonderful company we have. I am also thinking of matching thier donation myself as well. My son was stuck at the Atlanta GA airport since Sunday at 2:30 pm and wasn't able to fly out to Pensacola until Wed. He was at P.C.C. when Ivan hit last year as well. My prayers are continually sent upward for all involved!! :rolleyes: God's richest blessings to all.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am also very glad to hear that PC H O is aware of events in some of our lives. I have had losses this year and felt like they couldn't possibly know what was going on in any of our lives since it's such a large company. It's heart-warming to know that when the loss is as close as yours that they do become aware and express their sympathy.
