Soooo, I just got an email from someone who is doing a fundraiser ON MONDAY.......I had left her a couple messages, and she just responded today.
Here is what we HAD discussed (this is with a Brownie Troop)
1. I would come and do a cookie decorating demo with the girls and their moms
2. They would all take packets and collect orders to be returned by the end of the month.
Then, I get this email:
Hi Becky-
I meant to contact you, but I've been swamped!
We are Troop #2794 and we have 15 girls. I'm not sure if all 15 will show up on Monday, but we should be prepared for 15. I anticipate we'll just have the girls, plus a few parent helpers. I didn't invite parents, but sometimes a few stick around. There isn't a microwave or a refrig in the room we meet in, but there is in the church kitchen. I'll check with the church when they open at 9:30 this morning and see if we can use the kitchen. I'll get back to you on that.
What do you need me to provide?
Just so you know we're doing kind of a home catalog sales with some other businesses besides Pampered Chef. Everyone else is just providing catalogs and order forms, you're the only one who will actually be participating in the meeting, but the girls will go home with a variety of catalogs for selling holiday gifts to their friends and relatives. We plan on having them turn in all of their orders at our next meeting on Nov. 26th. Is that soon enough to get everything ordered and in? I can call you on the evening of the 26th with the orders, which can be shipped to my house.
Any proceeds that the troop earns can be given in check form to the troop. We've decided to use the funds to sponsor a family for the holidays through Women in Transition.
Let me know if there's anything else you need from me and I'll get back to you this morning about the church kitchen.
So - what do I do with this? I don't know how may other catalogs they will be getting....and if the parents aren't there - I have NO WAY of even knowing if it will even qualify as a show!
