Coming out to our local communities in Hernando, Citrus, Pasco and beyond. This is Sue Dixon, AVON Independent Sales Representative in Spring Hill, Florida. I've been a representative for 18 1/2 years and servicing Hernando County for 14 years this month. It's always been a pleasure to be of service to my friends, neighbors and community all these years. I have been able to help/support the Dawn Center, shelter for domestic violence, breast cancer awareness and fund raising, PIFF for single Moms, color me beautiful donations of make up for cancer patients, Hernando County food pantries, donations for the homeless, fundraisers for pet shelters and more. I do love giving back and feel it is important as a business owner to give back to the community that supports your business.

I love what the company AVON stands for and the products we offer. I have so many great customers that have become friends and family. All of you that know me know that I am passionate about my business and love what I do. I pride myself to be knowledgeable about our products and offer the best customer service possible. I love that AVON empowers women and is about building relationships I feel like my store has provided convenience to get products, a place to network, fund raise, offer the opportunity to become and AVON representative, have team meetings, drop off for donations and so much more.

I received a call on Tuesday, 8/21/18 from Avon's corporate office that they were informed I was selling products at this location. Well " Yes I said I have for 14 years." Well they informed me I was running an illegal Avon Store. Even though I applied over 12 years ago to become an ( Avon LABC,) Licensed AVON Beauty Center and was approved. Now they don't seem to have this information on file and I have to remove all products in stock within 30 days. I have to remove these product. I can stay at this location to have my team trainings and meetings, give out brochures and samples. This somehow doesn't seem right.

I am beside myself and have been praying for God to guide me and direct the path he has planned for me. I have to trust that he knows what is best for me and my family. I am wondering how I will service all of you and keep doing what I love.

i am going to file an appeal with AVON as I feel I have this right to fight for what i have worked so hard for with building this business all these years. I am not a quitter and I do not want to let my community down that is not my style. I am coming out to you and asking for you to sign this petition and share with others that you know that would want to support these efforts. Looking to get as many signatures by September 8, 2018. I am grateful and appreciate all of you and thankful for being able to service you for the past 14 years and hope to continue to do so in the future.

With a thankful and grateful heart. It will be what it will be. Be Blessed. I know my family and I are because we have had the pleasure to be surrounded by so many wonderful people in this community. Thank you in advance for your support. Love and Blessings to all.

Sincerely,

AVONSUE
