OH MY...YOU GUYS ARE GREAT> Thank you. but honestly I haven't done enough shows for you any of you to see me in person ...JUST Yet. I talk a better talk......LOL. I am better in the Imaginary world. Carolyn is who, I would have to send you all to. She just cracks me up and her show is very entertaining. I learned what I know from her.
Thank you though. ...HEHEHEHEHE, BLUSHING.
I would like to see many of the shows. Wish they would do a video of the many different styles just so we could see. I would like to see the styles of Mr. Funt and Meenan too. I would like to see all the directors really, but not till I get really better at the basics. Too many styles would mess me up.
Thanks for all your kind word. Love you guys.

Oh puhleeez.... I am nuthin!!
But thanks for the compliment.
You know you can get Cooking Show Live DVDs on a supply order for $2...I always make sure to go to one CS Live Workshop at conference each year. My first year it was Tom Marston and last year it was a gal from Long Island who was a lot of fun!
 
Oh really cool. Those will really help me. Great.
 
Oh and you are sumfin.......MISS CAROLYN. YOU ARE DA BEST!!!!! MISS TPC!!!!!!
 
Oh, Don Funt will be fun I'm sure.....report back here when you get home! If I had the money, I would definately do that--tax write off:)
I'd love to see Nancy Jo & Tom Marston. I talked to Scottie Brister at conference 2 years ago; her shows would be great too. And of course anyone here would be fun to see:)
 
I have only been to two other pampered chef shows in my life they were a very long time ago and my director lives far far away so I don't have a cluster near me and I don't have a hospitality director so i am on my own so to speak so I would really be happy to see anyones demo!!:o :)

I live about an hour east of Indianapolis and all of my family lives (where i grew up) about an hour south east of Chicago. So if there is anyone on here that is in Indiana drop a line maybe send an invite and maybe I could finally see a current demo!!!:)

Well, I'm in Indiana, Heather, but I'm up about half-way between Indy and South Bend. It's probably a bit far for you to drive.

You are probably about 2-2 1/2 hours from me. maybe over the summer when things are slow maybe I will see about a road trip!!!

I will be in Fort Wayne next weekend that probably isn't to far from you. Maybe on one of my next trips up there I could just take a detour!!!

I'm pretty game for going anywhere!!!

Heather~

Have you looked into getting a hosp. director? The cluster could really help you...and you would be adding to that cluster! We have two hosp. consultants at our meetings and they have been a WONDERFUL addition to our meetings! Plus, you need somewhere (other than here...even though this is great!) to toot your own horn or to get support!

I would lOVE to have a hosp. director. But the one that home office gave my director the info on won't return any calls so I gave up. I haved tried to call home office reguarding this but they won't tell me anything because they say they can only talk to my director about it. And that doesn't get me very far!!! So I back at square one I have been doing this for going one three years now and the majority of the time I have just been on my own and I think that I have done fairly well. So sometimes I geat hard headed and say well it's only up to me!! And then sometime I think I have done this well on my own just imagine what I could do if I had a cluster!!!!!

Well... just had to share the excitement. Don returned a call to me today. Not only is he happy to have us come to a show, BUT he is offering a Director training an hour after we arrive at the airport with someone from the Home office! AND, its at his house! WOWSERS! I am totally psyched!

Now, just hoping that my surgery goes well on Thursday, and I dont catch my DH's cold... ugh! Wish me luck!
 
That is fantastic. I'm sure you will learn tons and have a great time.

The first man to make Executive Director w/ PC - he is on alot of the Training dvds that you can purchase, and he is the man featured in the new "Your Life, Your Way" DVD. :D
Does that help?

I didn't think of that before, but I will now. Love those VeggieTales!!
 
Probably Tom Marston (mostly because he's the only one I've "heard" of) I understand his bingo shows are unique and he'll only share what he does if you attend. Since I do live in his state, if I ever get the opportunity to go, I will.
 
I am determined to get up to MD and see one of this bingo shows someday...roadtrip anyone?
 
Well I was just back there in November for a funeral I could have taken a couple of extra days to see one of his shows. Wish I would have known. Kicking myself in the rear!!!! Ugh who knows when I will be back there again!!
