FUNDRAISER REMINDER!!
From Rachel:
Fundraiser packets are due back by Wednesday, Dec.10th. Please give to Mandy Shaw, Rachel LaFon, or the current receptionist at the time you are at the studio.

Most fundraiser packets went out with two order forms (totaling 14 orders). PLEASE don't limit yourselves to 14 orders! If you gather up more than 14 orders, just write it down on your own spreadsheet. Some last minute packets went out with only 1 order form (totaling 7 orders). If you need regular order forms please contact me. OR you can write them down on your own spreadsheet. Don't worry if your fundraiser information doesn't come with an envelope! You can put it in an envelope, if you choose to. It might make it easier to keep all the money/checks in one place.

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELVES TO THE NUMBER OF SPACES ON YOUR ORDER FORMS! Just a little math for ya...
If every girl/boy at Infinity Dance that is participating in this fundraiser sells an average of $50 to 14 customers, that would be a TOTAL of $13,125 raised for costumes, fees, etc! THAT IS FANTASTIC!

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Also, here is an important note from Rachel who is our Scentsy representative.

The fundraiser packet was simplified to only offer certain warmers and smells so that it wouldn't be overwhelming to the new Scentsy buyer. However, if a customer has their heart set on a warmer, plug in, or smell that isn't in the fundraising catalog, but is in the normal catalog, then they can absolutely order it! They will just have to make a note of it either on the fundraising order form, or on a separate spread sheet.

ALSO, lots of girls will have family/friends from out of state supporting their fundraiser. We encourage this! However, they need to be charged the correct amount for tax in their city where they reside (the family member), and they will have to pay 10% shipping since the product will be shipped to them separately. So for example, if they live in Aurora, CO, the tax rate is 8.1%. So if they order $50 worth of product, they'll have to pay 8.1% tax on the $50 and then $5 (10%) for shipping.
Please call me with questions.
Thanks!
