Wow - congrats and good luck for a smooth and painless delivery!!
 
Jennie, That was me 2 yrs ago! Actually my son was due the week of conference, but ended up being born 5 weeks early - so I still didn't make it - couldn't leave my tiny preemie guy at home w/o his food source!
I wish you the best during these last weeks - keep your feet up:D
 
If anyone is sending info...I would love to know more. [email protected]
Thanks so much!!
 
Thanks you guys I really cant wait to have this baby this pregnancy I have been pretty miserable. I know I would never be able to do all the walking they do at conference, and knowing my luck I would go into labor on the plane.

Why would they take down the threads that contain the info???? They have their disclaimer so they can't be held responsible, so I don't see the problem???

This is printed at the bottom of each page:

And it is an integrity issue - at the end of closing session, everyone promises not to discuss anything revealed at conference until after wave 3 - the request for our promise comes directly from Doris and Marla.
 
They might delete this anyway, but people are blabbin' all over WLPCToo. That's how I got my info...
 
OMGoodness! I know it's hard to wait, but I REALLY hope you all wave 1 people are NOT sharing! Sorry everyone, but I really think that is part of the experience, & I'm sorry if you can't go for whatever reason, but it is just not right to share! If you didn't go to conference you will get your KCN, or you can go to your director's meeting & they will tell all. I just can't believe that some would ruin the fun....& break your promise! I will not share! Sorry, I know it's exciting & hard to wait, but maybe those that can't attend, can next year...then you'll know the reasons why you shouldn't spill the beans.
 
Folks from WLPCToo are sharing via private email, there is nothing being posted on that board.
 
I have noticed a big difference between this board and WLPCToo...just the whole mood is different between boards. A lot mroe negativity over there in my opinion.
 
Unbelieveablethat THIS many women...(sorry Kitchen Guy) and we're all keeping the SECRET....LOL.....That is soooooo cool.....I'm heading out Sunday for wave 3 and I can't wait and I DON'T want to know, I want to be super surprised......
I'm so excited, and I just cant hide it.....woo hoo.....look out CHICAGO....:D :eek: :o :rolleyes: ;)

At our last cluster meeting, we discussed whether the huge amount of new products each season was hurting recruiting. I just started last July & already 80 new products have come out. That doesn't include the supposed 60 new ones for this season! Does anyone think that would turn off new recruits who may worry they can't remember or buy all of them? I don't think the huge amount helps my sales either. I only occasionally have guests buy the new products-even the colored ones only offered in one season.

I am brand new to PC. I only have 2 shows booked so i havnt even ordered my starter package. I read this board and i get soooo excited about all the new products. i think it is awesome and I am excited that i get to "sell" the all new products in my first months. It actaully encouraged this recruit because it showed me that things are always changing and that is exciting to me. if it was the same catalogue for too long hen I would get bored with it!

Wave 1I went to conference. I have only been a consultant since May - it was pretty fun. They had shuttle issues though!! Hopefully that will all be resolved with wave 2 and 3. Most of the new products are awesome!! Everyone will be thrilled!! I can't wait for September to get my hands on the new stuff!! I would reccomend recruiting new consultants July and August!!;)

Jen--In your change over kit which you will receive at the end of the month you will get a pack of catalogs and the Special Issue Kitchen Consultant News. Also, Wave 3 starts on Monday so there are only a few more suspenseful days.

I'm sure you can make it guys!! I know we sound like pains in the butt, but those are the rules. You won't be disappointed!
 
new productsHi all. If someone is emailing the new info, my address is [email protected] . I had a falling out with my director and I don't go to the meetings anymore. Couldn't get to conference this year as I was sending dear husband off to Iraq for 18 months. Would love any info or pictures you may have. Thanks in advance! Michele:)
 
I would also like to know the new info from conference.

Please email me at [email protected]

I need something to get me motivated to get back into the swing of things. Ive been out of the swing of things due to a severe ankle injury, and now need some motivation to start getting shows booked again. I think Ive gotten too used to sitting around over the past 2 months.
 
Y'all...............I promise you that it will be worth the wait. It is only a few more days and then we can all spill our guts!!! Believe me as much as you want to know, we want to tell! I have not even told my downline yet!!

Hi. I was wondering what kind of shuttle problems you had. We had many in Wave 2 also.

Going to our Executive Dinner and the Director's Event our driver got lost, and made us late, even though we left really early. Turns out it was same driver both times, but it definitely wasn't fun. I had a third event leave McCormick on Day 1. I know there were other issues as well.

Conference was AWESOME, and I am definitely reinspired, but the shuttles were rough!
 
That's funny because I didn't have one shuttle issue at conference. They were super fast!
 
We only had one driver that took 'the long way' around but then she let me off at the corner of my 'non conf. hotel' when I was running late for our Exec dinner so I was okay with it.

I heard that on one of our HO tours the bus got lost and since the drive was extra long there was someone on that bus that got sick - I believe that was on day one - what a way to start off conference.:eek:
 
We had a driver that didn't know where he was going too:( I was in the front, so I could hear him keep calling someone asking what street he should be on. Luckily we weren't late to anything though....well no, actually my friend was late to the breakfast of caring. Just a few minutes though, she didn't miss anything major.

The only problem I had was day 2 when I needed to go back to the hotel at lunch and the bus that was sitting there, finally he said he was going to lunch and another bus was coming, it took like 20 minutes, but it finally got there, then when I was waiting on it to come back to the hotel after lunch they were coming back with the guests and supporting spouses and they were supposed to stop at the other hotel and he passed it up and had to turn back around and we had to run to the other side of the building, ughh! I still missed part of the intro of the speakers, I hated that they were running the busses on the opposite side of the building from where the classes were being held.
