Hey Everyone!
I hope that you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year's and that 2011 is treating you well so far! There isn't much to tell this month, January tends to be a fairly quiet month. But, I did want to make sure we told you all thank you for making our holiday a fantstic one and we're looking forward to a fabulous 2011 with you.
WINTER WEATHER
I saw that they're predicting snow for Monday, so I thought it would be appropriate to remind you all of our winter weather policy. If Rogers schools are closed, so are we, for the safety of our employees and our customers. The only exception to this is if the schools remain closed due to some weather related problem that isn't affecting us. For example, when they were closed for four days due to loss of electricity in the ice storm, we reopened because we had power. But if they are closed because the roads are bad, so are we. If you absolutely MUST have something during bad weather, you can call (479) 616-6086 (our cell) and we'll do our best to work out a solution.
ANGEL TREE
Thank you to everyone who donated so generously to the Angel Tree this holiday season. Pug Rescue, NWA Animal Rescue, Bella Vista Animal Shelter and the Humane Society all got tons of great donations and wanted us to pass on a BIG THANK YOU!!!
