Home Consultants Open House

Hello Ladies:

You are all invited to come out and visit our committee's event at the Sports Hub on Wed. Nov. 9th, from 6:00 - 9:00pm.
Please bring your friends.

Barb and Virginia E. will greet you at the greeting table. Stop by the Partylite table to visit with me and of course to see my candle display and get your Christmas catalogs. I will be taking orders all through the following week... You can look at the catalog in the comfort of your home and call me with your order. Your order will be delivered before Thanksgiving.

Joanna S. will end the evening with me. If you have time we could use another member to close the greeting table with Joanna.
Jeanette W. son Gregory and friend Cavin will help during the event. It's always good to have strong hands near by. I think it's great that family and club member's friends want to give their time. We thank you guys.

We charged a table fee this year of $20.00. From that money we will have road signs made from Sign-a-Rama. Tell your friends who are not familiar with our area to look for signs. It is impossible to list the vendors on the signs. Most people don't know what home consultants are. So, our road signs will read:

Gifts for the Holidays
OPEN HOUSE
Home Décor, Apparel,
Health & Beauty & More
SPORTS HUB
NOV 9, 6 - 9 PM
Sponsored By:
GLENDALE HEIGHTS JR. WOMAN'S CLUB

The date can be changed, so next year we can reuse the signs. I believe this works well for everyone.
WE want the public to know what is inside the hub from the road sign.

The following Vendors are:
Ann Warren's Crafts, Christian's Jewelry, Feelin Good, Grandmaster Han's Martial Arts (they teach at the Sports Hub), IL. State Treasurer's office, Longaberger, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Partylite, Premier Designs High Fashion Jewelry, Tastefully Simple, Usborne Books, Weekenders, Whimsical Windows.

We might have more. I have an e-mail from a lady who sells organization things for the home. She is the first IL. Consultant for this company. It just started.
I look forward to seeing all of you club ladies visiting our open house.
More details to come at our Nov. general.

Sincerely,
Mary Wolski Chairwomen
