I have over 2 yrs worth of Consultant News :eek: and I'm running out of space to keep them. What do you all do with them? :rolleyes: They're so pretty that I hesitate to throw them away.:cool:
 
Definitely keep any that have a mention of you or one of your good friends. :) I've also kept the first one I received for sentimental reasons.Other than that, you might want to keep the covers. You could do that in a binder with sheet protectors.

The covers? I never thought of that. That sounds like a cool idea!

Thanks!
 
I download them from CC and save them - they're there to reference if I need them (can even search them!) but they don't take up physical space. :)
 
I throw mine out after a while. I jus tmake sure I keep the one that had my name in it.
 
At the end of the year, I go through them & tear out any pages that have info I'd like to keep. Then I put those pages in a binder & throw the rest out. Of course, the one when I hit $15000 with my name in it I kept intact!

No, it's sitting in a file cabinet!
 
I have every one since I started 5 1/2 years ago. I just know there will be something I will want to look up in them but never do. I also have them downloaded onto my computer.

...hmmmm I wonder why I am so overloaded with paper. I know... let it go! I'm so glad I didn't just toss them though! I forgot about my name/pic being in some of them!
 
I've kept all mine too!! Same reasons~I'm sure I'll go through them all....*someday*!!!
 
I have every single one since I signed 4 years ago (well, actually, 4 years and one day ago). I have them all in binders grouped 2 years at a time.

I guess I'll keep them in the binders for now. I'm thinking that they could be a good recruiting instrument too. Potentials can get a glimpse of PC's generosity.
 
I keep for like 3 months and then toss; we can view on line if needed for something we remember later (within a year I think).

I do keep ones with my name/photo, team members names, etc. and I also like the idea of keeping the covers. But, I'm trying to be better at throwing stuff away so still not sure I'll do that.
