Venting but There's a Bright Spot!

[quiverfull7]

Hey... I had arrangements to do a Health Fair event today just over 2 hours from home... had done my homework and asked if they had a PC Consultant coming... NO... I don't think we even have any in this area at all ... so ... thus the willingness to drive 2 hours, pay a sitter ... ya da ya da ... ANYWAY... my SIL that does Arbonne rode along to do a table as well. She went in when we arrived to see where we should unload etc and came back out to tell me she was pretty sure she saw a PC lady setting up a display. We parked and just went in. I went over to say hi to the PC lady ... and here comes the bright spot ... it was our own Chef Success Stacey Witlow ... I hope I spelled that right... forgive me in advance if I didn't ... she's such a sweetheart ... get this... she told me to set up anyway! She lives 5 minutes from the event site!!!!!! It seems the organizers need to get their paperwork streamlined a bit. So we chatted with another gal that my SIL knows and waved goodbye to Stacey. I hope that she has had a very successful day and made some great sales and contacts!!! She was a delight to meet ... it was a LONG way to go to say hello but I'm trying to find something positve.. 4 hours + worth of gas and $56 bucks to my sitter later... I've been praying asking God what today was for other than meeting a fellow Cheffer. Maybe it was to see how I would handle things??? I don't know but thanks for letting me vent a bit. I am going to call the person that I spoke with who received my paperwork about it anyway.

Well, I hope you both get something good about it and I'm glad it was a fellow cheffer at least!

Hey! It's me! Good thing you didn't stay (even though you did take a 4 hour trip ) because we only had about 40 people stop by & most only wanted the free gift.:yuck: We did not have a good turn out at all.

It was great meeting you! Maybe we can get together again for another booth midway for us.

Oh... I'm sorry for you that it was such a small turnout! I'd love to share a booth some day!

I think all the Co-Facilitators wanted was both of your Money if you ask me! Sorry it didn't work out for either of you. Sometimes these events are "for the birds".

Thankfully... there was no charge ...

It was free. Plus it was their 1st year doing this. It is offered by an extension of one of the schools in our county (which is in the middle of nowhere)

Oh, well that is a different story then! They just wanted to make a great impression on the county. Hope it was worth everyone's time then.

Maybe you two can get together on next year's event and share the booth!

:angel: Just a testament to the GRACE you both showed in an uncomfortable situation! YEAH TO YOU BOTH!

Ah thanks! Stacey was wonderful! I do think that this was totally a very innocent breakdown in communication so I want to clarify that noone wanted to have this happen.... it just did. Whenever an event is new, there are kinks to work out and this was just one of them. God had a reason for it... we may or may not ever know but that's okay too... HIS ways are SO much bigger than ours.
