Before the meeting was called to order, Jean Just with Tastefully Simple brought a treat for all of us to sample. She explained the fundraiser and options for shipping. You can put the order together and charge 10% for shipping or if an individual wants it shipped to their home, under $50.00 it is $6.99 for shipping over $50.00 it is 10% for shipping. If you want to send Jean an email with friends email addresses, she will send an online invitation to them. Deadline for order is December 18th to have by Christmas. Jean will write us a check at the end of the fundraiser.
Remember 30% of all sales go to Youth First.
