Premier "round up"

I went to a Premier training thingie on Saturday in Elizabethtown, KY. The theme was "Wizard of Oz" & these ladies went all out. It was at the Coca Cola museum. When I got there, there was a guy that valet parked my car - how fancy! He told me to "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". When I walked in, this is what I saw! They had different jewelers speak about different aspects of the business. It was very interesting & I got LOTS of new ideas!
(This is for you, Kim Lewis :) ...) They also had another lady come from Houston to speak. Her name is Beverly Terrell. She's a seriously big deal w/ Premier! She has been with them for 21 years. She was 56 years old when she started. You can do the math...she's now 77 years old. She gave her testimony & then spoke to us about presenting the business to prospective jewelers. She was a funny, feisty ole' gal! She also has 79 jewelers under her...that's a lot!


This was one of my favorite parts. The leadership brought "prizes" for a raffle. You could buy raffle tickets & then put your tickets in the basket of what you wanted to win. Some of you may know I have a "thang" for bags! I had 30 tickets & I put 10 of them in a black & white striped bag that said "jewelry diva". It must've been my lucky day, 'cuz they drew my number & I won it! Yea for me!

Throughout the day, Dorothy, Tin Man, The Wicked Witch, Cowardly Lion & Glenda the Good Witch made appearances! These jewelry ladies do NOT mess around!

Oh my gosh Jaime, Beverly was one of my favorites! At my first round-up, Steve came with me (since he was still a little weary about Premier) and Beverly flew out then also. She sat and talked with him for quite a while and made such an impression. Then the following July when we were in Texas for rally, he ran into her and she remembered him. How cool is that?? She is such an amazing woman and inspiration. Glad you got to experience a round-up and hope you are enjoying Premier. Sounds like you are doing quite well. :-)
