Cloud 9: Celebrating My Director's Red Apron & Achievements!

[smspamperedchef]

Tonight we had our monthly meeting and OH MY GOSH!!! I am just overwhelmed, excited, dazed, and just so honored. My Director presented me with the coveted red apron (for Director's only) that had my name embroidered on it along with Director and June 07 embroidered on it as well. I also got an English Ivy (I think that's what it is). It has all different kinds of flowers, ivys, etc in it and it represents my cluster and how different everyone is with their businesses and how they grow, etc. It was so cool. I also got a Certificate of Achievement from the company, my gold whisk charm and my upline Director gave me an inspirational book and a nice card. On top of all of that one of the girls from my cluster stood up in front of everyone and said a bunch of nice things and presented me (from my entire cluster) one of those musical greeting cards which plays "Dancing in the Street", a AMEX gift card, a certificate for a free haircut and a free style and a certificate for a free manicure and a free pedicure. I almost started bawling! I have such a great group upline and downline! I just wanted to share with all of you as right now I'm on cloud 9!

CONGRATS on the promotion. WOW! Your cluster does a lot for promotions. I only remember an email being sent about the last person that was promoted in our cluster... I don't even remember it being mentioned at a meeting... I sure hope that isn't the case, but I really don't remember. But how great that you and your accomplishments are so celebrated! I love the idea of embroidering your name, title and date of promotion on your apron! How special!

Thank you! I was just so excited when I got home I had to share! My husband was too sleepy to really even care although he did say good job very sleepily.

BTW... is the "red apron" an official PC thing or just something your director/cluster does? Never heard of it before and was just wondering...

Congratulations! You are in a very giving, generous group! How wonderful for you!!!


The red apron is not a PC thing but a lot of groups do use that. When I promoted I received a red apron with my name on it. I would have loved the date! (I will remember that when my team promotes!) I don't know what will be available with Merrill but VIP changed the aprons from PC in screenprint to embroidered right after I got mine. Good thing because my words are faded off and I can't wear that apron anymore.

My upline gives verbal recognition and my director made signs out of construction paper and ribbon with all the director benefits and hung them around my neck. She uses it as an incentive to get others in her cluster to strive to promote by seeing the benefits that PC has to offer. My upline feels that PC is so generous with all the things they give that she doesn't have to add to it (other than the apron). I would have loved to have been pampered. ...Well I was. My husband took me out to celebrate as soon as I got my call (and he got me flowers).

[AJPratt]

Congratulations! It is so nice when people recognize us!

 

[pamperedbecky]

Congratulations!! That's so cool that your cluster recognized you with ALL that stuff! How special. You deserve it all!

 

[MomToEli]

Congratulations! That had to be quite a pick-me-up, too, with worrying about finances and such!

I love how they praised your accomplishment! I want to be that way with all of my downline!

 

[katie0128]

I'm more excited to promote (eventually) to be able to shower my consultants with this kind of praise and encouragement!

 

[Bren706]

That is so Awesome! Congrats to you!

 

[Chef Kearns]

Honestly I'm not really sure. I just know that Directors in our area get it but they do order from one of the PC vendors. I've been wanting that apron for a LONG time because red is my favorite color and I seem to have more energy at my shows. By the way, wore a red top AND my red apron at my shows last night. Sales were ok but I got 5 BOOKINGS!!! WOO! HOO!!!
Maybe it's the RED? Sounds like a good theory to me.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I think it was YOU! Not the Apron! (But maybe the apron gave you an extra energy boost!)

Maybe so! Who knows! However, I'll keep on wearing it anyways!

Thanks Sandy! Yes, the treats were so special and I was really wanting to get my nails and such done but wasn't sure if I could spare the extra cash for it. Really need the pampering! Everyone just pray that my DH gets a good job offer or something! By the way, TODAY is our ANNIVERSARY!!! 14 years!

 

[StacieB]
