Each week, we will present four options for your group to choose from, with information on the Canadian company products, minimum orders for shipping (where applicable), links and contact information, and a bit about the product array. We recommend that your group arrange for a shipment order from any or all of the suppliers once you have gathered information on teh quantities that your group will require. You may either gather money from each member that is ordering, or one group leader for that week will pay for the order and collect later from the members. In some instances, bulk orders will result in additional savings. Please advise us of any special requests for products that you may have.
