I hand them or mail them to past hosts, customers, etc in April and ask them to take orders from their friends and family and co-workers and put them in on my fundraiser show in May. Lots of people want to help out and if they want to order other items besides the HWC items they usually call or e-mail me so I can put their order in with the fundraiser. Of course if they want to have their own show I set it up for them too. This form is just for the HWC items orders. I tell them what date I need the orders by and the money. Which reminds me I haven't set my date yet on the fundraiser for HWC.
Does this answer your questions?

When can we consultants get these things? During April's 40% off? Of course I hope to earn the cups and squares the beginning of March but just thinking the rest of them.

The cups and squares will be a host only item, unless you host a show you will not have a chance to buy them, but you can earn them, I think it is if you hold and submit 2 shows march 1-15? The rest of the stuff we will be able to order ahead so that we can display them.PChef Fun in 06 said:

Thanks, Heather for the complement. I don't mind doing it as long as I don't get disturbed trying to do it right. I put a sign on my door saying do not disturb genius trying to work!!!!!! It can be tricky but I am starting to get the hang of it.
I go to the pdf and click on the camera, then using my mouse I highlight what I want to copy (one area at a time) and click OK when it says that it has been copied to my clipboard. I then open a new word document and hit paste where I want it to be. I sometimes then have to click on the pasted object and resize with my mouse to get it to fit the way I want it to.
Play around with one of your pdf files and see how it works for you. It's easier to do it than explain in writing.

These are the specials for May which is our Help Whip Cancer month. You can use these at HWC fundraisers or any show in May. As far as your question goes most fundraisers are for organizations. I think you have to clear it with home office if the fundraiser is for an individual.pcnewbie72 said:

heat123 said:it's been explained to me twice before but I cannot seem to locate the "camera" icon on the pdf file!It sounds pretty easy to do cutting and pasting after that but where in the world is that icon located?
Thank you again! You are awesome!
Heather:
It's on the tool bar that has the icons for print, a floppy disc icon for save. The camera icon is after the word search.

The person is actually a friends sister in law that has bone cancer. She was just diagnosed. I was thinking of doing something like that to help cover some medical bills or something. I think I read on one of the boards that if you have make themselves whomever fund it can be done. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks so much for the help.

As for doing fundraisers for individuals....yes you can if they have developed a fund through a bank. I did a fundraiser for a couple wanting to adopt a child because they couldn't have biological children. They created "The ________ Family Adoption Fund" at the bank and that's what PC cut the check to. I checked with HO at the time and they said as long as there was a designated bank account/fund that it could be done. That was about 2 1/2 years ago, but I imagine it's still the same.

The forms I made up didn't include the tax line as we don't have sales tax in NH. You can easily add a spot in there for sales tax. These were just suggestions on what you could do as with all forms/flyers you need to make it your own, changing your name,etc. I hope this helps you out. The May o/o forms should be on CC the beginning of April.
