Stamp Club

A new Stamp Club is scheduled to commence in February. Some members will be retiring or taking up as demonstrators so there are positions available. I'll be moving the Stamp Club get-together time to a Sunday as well. Perhaps we could go the host's house for the get-together so their extra friends can participate in a Workshop and increase your party sales?? 

What's Stamp Club? 

The cutest description I've heard to describe the Stamp Club is a "Virtual Party" each month! 6 members make a commitment to buy $50 worth of products per month ... amounting to a $300 order each month. The 6 members then take turns being the hostess each month to take advantage of the hostess benefits (at least $50 to spend on your choice of products). 

Please let me know asap if you'd like to be a member for the February - July period. 

A long post today again. See you Friday! 

Sally
