We still in the middle of my lg fundraiser for the Middle school we here is an up date Remember 900 kids
Off to a slow start cause I guess at that age they forget to thake stuff home , so we are going to extend the closing to the end of October.

So far the FR is at 4400.00 I know that is great but thats only about 60 orders , now remember 900 kids WHERE ARE ALL OF THESE ORDERS ?????
I have to close it on Oct 15th cause of the guest special free product. Then have to start an other one just have to figure out I have to call HO about the free product of if I have to just do an Oct date and they will have to get the Pumpkin dish
 
Hi, Doreen!900 kids will not all order - be thrilled when you get 90. 10% of a school is an incredible thing. 60 orders is awesome. Wish for 90, plan for 80.
 
What do you send home with the children for the fundraiser? I'm sure you don't use the Current Line Caddy as that would be very $$$. Just curious!
 
That's great so far Doreen! I'm sure you'll have lots of last-minute orders, if it's anything like around here....people get busy & forget.

I didn't think that 900 would order but I was thinking 300 or so

I sent home 1 caddy ,1 letter , 2 outside order forms ( 2 on 1 page) and 1 gift cert page with 4 lines to fill out if needed all in 1 envelope . also the link to order on line. yes it did cost me about $400.

The funny thing is the average order is about 75.00 All I cn do is wait till the end of Oct But yes I am very excited about 4400.00 so far
