BHG's Command Central Binder

Here's a link to an organizational binder concept presented by Better Homes and Gardens from the January 2012 issue.  It may help get you started if you were interested in creating one of these types of binders for your family. The link is Organizational Binder.  This is similar to the type of binders Vicki Winterton displayed at our April RS monthly meeting.

Please note the following requests:
 
1)     We ask that if you were able to purchase berries from the family canning opportunity, you do not order more berries. Please let those who didn’t get any berries have an opportunity to do so. We will not monitor this. It will be on an honor system.
 
2)    Please only order what you are positive you will purchase.
 
3)    Please have a back-up plan in case of conflicts with the 9am – 1pm pick-up times on Thursday, December 15th. We will not extend the pick-up times, we will just contact the next person on the email list to get rid of any unclaimed product.
 
4)    Do not send more than one email.
 
5)    Do not put more than one order per email. We will only take the first order on the email.
 
6)    Last minute email addresses are not guaranteed to get put on the distribution list before the email is sent.
 
7)    You will be limited to 5 items (cases and/or boxes) per order.
(example: 1 chicken + 1 pork + 2 blueberries + 1 raspberry = 5 items  OR 5 raspberries = 5 items)
 
Here is how it will work:
 
1)    An email will be sent tomorrow, December 14th at approximately 10:00 a.m. to our entire distribution list (9200+ people).  It will outline the information you MUST include in your request to purchase overage product. Incomplete emails will be skipped.
 
2)    You MUST reply to the email sent tomorrow (just like replying to an email from a friend: Click on “Reply” and type your response.) Any emails received prior to our sending this email will be deleted from our Inbox.
 
3)    We will go in order of received emails. If we reach your email before we run out of product, you will receive a reply to your request by the end of the day, telling you what you will be able to purchase.
 
4)    You must come to the Cannery on Thursday, December 15th between 9am and 1pm to pick up your product. You can send someone to pick up for you. If paying with a check, the check must be from the person who placed the order. If using a credit card, it will not matter whose card pays for the order.

4 toothbrushes (sealed--not childrens’)
1 tube toothpaste (6-8 ounces, no pumps)
2 bars of soap (3.5-5 ounces each)
2 hand towels (approx. 15 x 25 inches, new)
Dishtowels and washcloths are NOT acceptable! Try the dollar stores for soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste—even combs—check the sizes listed above. They sometimes have hand towels—be careful, check the quality! No dishtowels! Costco has a dozen white towels for a reasonable price.
