REMEMBER THE "MAKE A DIFFERENCE MONTH" AT LA PRAIRIE?

It was in June, I believe, when I suggested that we shop at La Prairie during the month and spend $5.00 on a purchase. It wasn't a lot to ask of anyone as most of us have occasion to need a small gift for someone now and then. And, it did make a difference in her business. It raised her totals enough that she knew exactly how it impacted her business. It meant a lot to her.

Shopping at home does make a difference. We take it for granted that our stores will always be there for our convenience, but sometimes we don't think what it would be like without them. We'd miss them. I'd miss each and every one of them. So...I hope this shows what a purchase here and there means to our local merchants. They appreciate your patronage and we all need to shop at home as much as we possibly can.
