Weekly Highlights

I had the privilege this week of delivering 6 boxes of brand new, library-bound books to Alberta Elementary...one of the Tuscaloosa schools that was destroyed by the April 27th tornado. Bluff Park Elementary had their annual Usborne Book Fair the week after the tornado, so their librarian graciously decided to donate their free books from the book fair to a school affected by the tornado. I have also had a few events since then where I have been able to donate the free books earned as well. The result was 6 boxes of books! I absolutely LOVE that I have a job that allows me to impact my community & help others!!! That was not only my highlight of the week, but one of the highlights of my Usborne career thus far. :)

Here are some more fun highlights...

• Beckie Field (Weaver, AL), Heather Mills (Anniston, AL), & Molly Smith (Helena, AL) attended the School & Library training at my house this past Sunday. We covered A LOT of info and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these ladies!

• Tara Maple (Opelika, AL) had a new consultant join her team...welcome Krista Landenwich (Bay Minette, AL)!
  

Where are you in respect to the September Sales Challenge? Remember EVERY consultant that has at least $500 in net sales receives an Usborne logo item from the home office!

Weekly Highlights

Whew! This week has been exhausting! I had an elementary book fair all week for a Christian school I have never worked with before. Last year the librarian did EVERYTHING for the book fair herself, which is hard considering she is part-time. The book fair had a little over $2200 in sales last year. This year she decided to try Usborne...I did ALL the work for her & with 20 less kids in the school than last year, the book fair did over $3050 (and that number could increase because the eFair doesn't end until midnight tonight)! Needless to say, the librarian was ecstatic...which makes me SO happy!!! I LOVE my job!!!! :)

Here are some highlights from this week...

• Jessica Wood (Leighton, AL) and Michelle Swinney (Hamilton, AL) did a book fair at Northwest-Shoals Community College this week to raise books for the schools destroyed in the April 27 tornadoes in Phil Campbell and Hackleburg...the book fair had sales of over $1400, which means that each school is getting $350 in brand new, library-bound books!!! We are so blessed to have a business that allows us to help our communities!!!

• Sarah Walaschek (Huntsville, AL) is moving back to her hometown in Pennsylvania! She is excited to take a piece of our Usborne team to PA...what a great reminder that this job can move with you! :)

• Amy Snead (Weaver, AL) has her kick-off party tomorrow!
  

The fall is upon us...let's keep filling our calendars & take advantage of this wonderful season! :)

Some of the top Supervisors in our company will be doing training calls starting tomorrow through September 17 to help you know how to promote UP to Supervisor and how to promote OUT Supervisors!
