Hey Sid,

We are surviving.. Thank's for mentioning this forum in your last Strategies newsletter. I hadn't found it before.

We are in the midst of trying to plan Spring at the Garden Center and come up with new and improved products and services that we can offer to help us remain profitable in this economy.

So joining this forum is an exciting new way to find ideas!

Happy New Year!

Melodie
