I am done with all of this assuming, even that done by me.

I said Health insurance and I think you possibly meant that too. You are assuming
that I am a sales rep, am dwelling on negativity, and never opened my
mouth when things were good. That's a lot of assuming. I do propose that when
facts get all over the board people reach out for truth and that is not necessarily
dwelling on negativity. Your plea for compassion is well taken. There were six
salespeople with last names that started with "G" and now I am assuming you
are one of those. If this is true I understand your position and empathize with your situation. My Rep. has many great things to say about the Geckler Co. and has
said that for years. It's a shame that the schools and the Reps that made the
company great were not taken care of before this went down.

Soooo..... did Geckler work alongside or with any other fundraising companies? Inother words, will their closing affect any other fundraising companiesin a negative way?

I am one of those sales reps without pay, without life insurance, and it sounds like you must be too. I just am choosing not to dwell on the negativity. What the Gecklers are going thru right now most of us could not ever even imagine. When people get hurt they seem to explode into negativity, but it is those same people that when they are treated good never bother to open their mouth... There is too many people in the world like that, and that is what is really sad!

Obviously you have not lost thousands of dollars.
The Geckler management and even some of the office staff were making excuses for delays and non payment
for months. Most heard of the lock down via the grapevine and not from Geckler. Health Insurance
was canceled some time before the lock down without notification to some of the insured. So much for
blaming the bank for the big surprise. If your school saw the Feb. 18 promise on KSTP TV from Geckler,
"Any obligation I have to my customer will be honored completely" you may want to contact Geckler ASAP
at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Tell him what you are due and ask him how it will be taken care of. If you
have to sign a contract with another company to take care of it, chances are good that you are restricting
the livelihood of your former Geckler Rep. by preventing a future commission after the Rep. was most likely
not paid in full for last year. Geckler deserves some compassion for all that they are going through but
we deserve the truth, fairness, and what we are owed. Back to "Smile"..If you'll cover all the losses of
the schools and Reps, we won't be so negative and we promise to smile.

Does anyone know what the connection is between The Chip Shoppe and Goeckler is ? Heard they are one in the same company?
