SPEND $5.00 IN JUNE AT LA PRAIRIE

I'd like to suggest something that I've mentioned before that could be a terrific help to our local businesses, particularly the ones out of the main stream that could use a boost now and then. We need to encourage our local business people and show our appreciation to them by shopping at home whenever we can.

I'd like to see how many people will respond to this by making a special trip to Lori's store and spending at least $5.00 during the month of June. Maybe it will be the first $5.00 you've ever spent there, or maybe you are a regular shopper and this will just encourage you to make that extra effort in June.

She has a wonderful supply of wedding, shower, birthday, etc. gifts. She does special arrangements and decorations for weddings and parties. She will do almost anything to please a customer as she did for me today when I asked about providing me with an extraordinary arrangement. I didn't want to buy it; I just wanted to rent it for a couple days. She was delighted to help and the fee is very reasonable.

It's not a huge store, but for gifts, it's hard to beat. She has some out-of-the-ordinary things that provide wonderful options. I love the ease of shopping there as she has great ideas and her gift wrapping puts the final touches on any present. Recently I needed a stainless steel mixing bowl and found one the exact size and shape I had in mind. The price was right and less than I expected. And she has great ideas to share. If she doesn't have it, she can usually find it for you.

So, how about let's give it a try and find something in her store in June that we need or intend to buy anyway...for our home, ourselves, a gift for someone special. Let's see if we can make a difference. It will be an interesting experiment in the spirit of cooperation.

When you go in, tell her you are there to "Make a Difference". She will really appreciate it.
