I'm in the process of signing up, and I was just wondering if someone could let me know what products will be discontinued this season? I'm going to a party (my SIL first show as a consultant) on July 19th, and I was wondering what I ought to buy, either to help my business get started or just a good product that won't be available anymore. Thanks!
 
Probably no one will talk about what happened at conference (that is where discontinued items are announced) but HO will e-mail everyone on the 20th (won't help for your show, sorry!) and tell them about the new products, discontinued products, and other conference announcements. You can bet that the gen II cookware will be gone, and the colored scrapers, trivets, and microfiber towels. My guess is that the towels are staying, just in different colors.

Everything that is in the "wave of color" and the generation II cookware are discontinued for sure but the rest is yet to be announced.

I think it is SO unfair that PC announces all the information on July 20th before Wave 3 directors can get home and announce it to their clusters. Waves 1 & 2 can meet while we're in Chicago and share the info with their teams - and you know they do!

Yes, there is an ugly, dark side to PC.
