TOYS FOR
TOTS; SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY; HAPPY THANKSGIVING;
HELP MAKE A CHILD’S HOLIDAY BRIGHTER BY
DONATING TO TOYS FOR TOTS!!!
Put a
smile on a child’s face by donating to Toys for Tots! In
partnership with Sunrise Rotary, the City is serving as a collection site for new, unwrapped toys appropriate for children, newborn through 12 years of age. Toys must be in original package. A donation
box is in the Municipal Center lobby until December 14. The most needed toys are
for newborns through age 2 and children ages 10-12. Thank you
for being so generous with the various organizations we support throughout the
year! Thank you in advance for your generosity! We certainly appreciate it!
GET READY
SET…..SHOP LOCAL (#SHOPSMALL)!!! HOLIDAY SEASON 2017 IS IN FULL SWING!!!! SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY NOVEMBER 25, 2017
Over the next several weeks, many will be out enjoying family and friends
as the Holiday Season commences. Further, a lot of shopping will occur
over the next several weeks, and this is a time as a community we can really
support local businesses.
NOVEMBER 25, 2017 IS SMALL BUSINESS
SATURDAY.
Small Business Saturday is between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It
was first promoted nationally in 2010 and is a trademark of American Express
(#shopsmall). You can visit the following site to learn more about the
evolution of Small Business Saturday and how communities have embraced this as
an opportunity to promote their local businesses: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/shop-small/.
Although Small Business Saturday, #shopsmall, is
marketed as a retail opportunity it’s important to remember retail is but one
component of a vibrant and diverse economy. Please don't forget about service, manufacturing, healthcare and the various subsets of all these sectors which makeup a vibrant diverse healthy economy!
