At least if you DO have to re-sign, you can do it under the $65 mini-kit plan instead of the full $155! :) (at least through December you can)

I just sent her a note saying that...did you read my mind or something? ;)

and, you will be eligible to participate in the 90-day new consultant program for PC$
 
I know - It's just that it is a pain to go through for one fundraiser. It could be a really good fundraiser but you never know. I am starting a new business (not direct sales) in the next few weeks and having to purchase a new kit was not in my plans.
 
If you are doing it just for that one fundraiser, perhaps you should just be the HOST for a fundraiser through another consultant you know? A cluster-mate perhaps? You could get compensated by way of the Monthly Host Special for whatever month it is, and the organization still gets their fundraiser. just a thought...?
 
I am co-hosting a fundraiser next month - If I contact everyone to do a catalog show this month I am reducing the $$$ I can raise for the fundraiser next month. See my dilemna
 
I am facing a similar problem. I was active in June. Inactive in July (no sales). It looks like I may not have enough sales again for August (I was out of the country for a few weeks). If I do not submit $150 in sales by August 31st, I will lose my career sales.

However - there is another option. You can e-mail HO and ask for an extension by the 24th of the month. You are only offered this option once a year. For exact details, refer to the guidelines.
