I have read through so many posts regarding fundraisers and I am sooo confused. I am still fairly new with Pampered Chef & I have been approached by my church-sponsored Cub Scout Troop about doing a fundraiser. I've read posts where they've been entered as cooking shows, others done as a bona-fide fundraiser, etc. This is a new and very small troop with practically no money. Sales would not be huge and they would not be interested in free products. I am willing to donate commissions, but I would like this to be a positive experience for everyone and include the scouts if possible. Are open houses better or cooking and/or catalog shows? Is it better to do a demonstration or bring in food and give everyone a chance to try the different products on their own? Thank you all - this site is amazing and has helped tremendously with my business!
