AMERICAN EXPRESS SHOP SMALL SATURDAY NOV. 26th 2011



The 2nd annual Small Business Saturday, November 26th 2011...


Small businesses are the backbone of this country, most work hard & struggle to survive & they need to be supported by their local communities. American Express is asking millions of people to shop small at their favorite local stores and help fuel the economy. We're hoping that our family & friends will help support all the small businesses here in Staten Island...because like American Express states "When we all shop small, it will be huge."

PLEDGE TO SHOP SMALL NOV. 26

Last year our local cable television station NY1 found our store on the internet.  Here's the link:

AMEX...Small Business Saturday, November 27th 2010...

Of course, as the owner of a small business, I am embracing this...It has been a tough go for many of us during this "Great Recession". I am always an optimist & I want to think that all is well, but it has been and it still is a scary situation for many of us. In order to succeed...I must run a lean, mean, operating machine. And when all is said & done, it will be a matter of "Survival of the Fittest".


The small business owner in me knows that this time of the year is crucial to my survival as a retailer...but the spiritual human being in me knows the true meaning of Christmas. It is a wonderful, magical time of year "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).



I must put my faith in God that all will be fine & that things are as they should be. So, as the season of Advent begins...I will try to remember that...

JESUS is the REASON for the SEASON



Keeping Christ in Christmas...
