OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY SALE:  What a great day! Sales for the day were $5256.09!!!  More than last year by a few dollars!  Lot’s of comments about the great merchandise and the store in general. 

A BIG THANK YOU to Carol Davis, Kathy Young, Dana Dunkin, Linda Shann and Billie York for the front end help.  The checkout process ran smoothly and the postings and tills balanced!!!  ALSO a big thank you to: Jerry Davis, Julie Whitlatch, Virginia Domingo, Gini Perdue, and Joyce Eberle who were here most and some of them all of the day!!  It was a lot of work and Scott and I THANK YOU for all you did.

On Saturday, April 26 a bus load with 28 members and antique dealers from the Southern Oregon Antiques and Collectible Club came to Klamath.  They visited a couple of other Antique stores in the area, had lunch and then came to SHOP!!!  They were in the store a little over two hours and between them and the customers already in the store we had over $900.00 in sales in those two hours!!

Reminder about work time:  you are the eyes for everyone else in the store when you are working.  Workers need to be aware of who is in the store, where the customers are, and what is going on.  There is a list on the bulletin board of things we need help with while you are here. 

We have several new vendors in the store.  We welcome you and hope your experience here is a great one.  For those of you who are “oldies” take a few minutes and introduce your self to the new vendors and make them feel welcome.

A big THANK YOU to all of you who do a lot of the “extras” in the store.  Several of you vacuum, dust and wash windows without being asked.  Customers remark how clean and pleasant smelling the store is.

Reminders:
• PLEASE take a few minutes and vacuum your space(s) and the walk way in front of your area
• Lots more merchandise in the no tag/no ID area, please check it out!!! 
• Correct tags are money in your pocket!!!! Check the till for no ID/wrong ID tags
• A thirty day written notice is required when you are vacating your booth at the end of the month.  This applies when you are leaving after your initial six months OR at any other time after your 6 month commitment is over
• Please check at home for Keeper’s Corner name tags and return if you have one (or two)
• Check the customer want list for items you may have at home that someone is looking for
• Customer appreciation basket is still a big hit. The customers appreciate the nice gifts they receive
