CHART TOPPERS & FLOPPERS

This next section featuresDo’s (Toppers) & Don’ts (Floppers)

Hum along, if you’d like.

Chart Flopper—Shot Through the Mail

Shot through the mail, and you’re to blame.Darlin’, you give Duct Tape, a bad name.

Avoid death by duct tape. You can secure your entries with paper clips, binder clips, etc. without going to the extreme.

Chart Flopper—Unstapled Melody

Oh, my love, my stapleshave hungered for your pluck. Remove them next time.

Your entry forms may not stay in tact once all the staples are removed. A binder clip or paper clip is the best way to attach an entry form to the actual entry .

Chart Flopper—Put a Name On It

Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put your name on it. If you like it, then shoulda put your name on it.Wha-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohWha-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Be sure to include your name on the payment form, even if your Accounting department will issue payment or you’re using one form to pay for the organization.

Chart Flopper—My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensEntrants who remember to list their name.These are a few of my favorite things.

For Entrant’s Name, be sure to include your name even if you’ll request a department name for the trophy inscription.

Chart Topper—Pay Me, Maybe

Hey, I just got your form, and this is crazy.I need each entrant, to charge you baby.

You can make one payment for the organization, but must send in each entrant’s payment form with your payment.

Chart Topper—That’s the Way, We Like It
