Your booths look great which in turn makes the store look great! All of you are very helpful and friendly to the customers.  All of these things help project the image we want to show to the public.  Please keep up the good work!  Also a “thank you” to the gals that volunteer to do the displays.  You keep them looking so great!!! We have a lot of positive comments about the display areas.

JUST A REMINDER!!!  Please keep your items with in the parameters of your booth.  If you are renting a 4 foot deep booth, don’t place items outside of the four foot depth of your space.  We have to have 48” as walkways according to code enforcement. If KC is ever given a citation and/or fine, and that fine is because of a space violation by the vendor, the fine may be passed on to the violating vendor. Thank you!!!

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:
• Donations to the Monthly Gift Basket are always appreciated but please remember that these items are gifts for our customers.  Please do NOT use the Monthly Gift Basket as a place to get rid of those broken items you no longer want.  The winner for the month of June was somewhat disappointed with the number of broken and/or chipped items in the basket.  This is a reflection on your store!
• Rent is due on the 1st of the month, payable up to the 10th and late with a $10 late fee after that date
•  PLEASE take a few minutes and vacuum your space(s) and the walk way in front of your area. Several booths are in need of a good vacuum job. Vacuum is located by the Pepsi machine!
• 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
• Ask the management about the “Finders Fee” bonus!!

Scott’s Thoughts:  Sorry about not finding time to write last month but time just slipped by.  If you are not aware, I am fully retired from teaching. Bonnie has bought me the “boat of my life” as a “graduation present” and I am busy making her happy by using it as much as possible.  I am looking for fishing companions (men, women, children or any combo of) so if you like to fish, please let Bonnie or I know and we will “hook up” for a fishing trip.  I will be at Keeper’s Corner a lot more now and have looked forward to that day.  I will greatly miss the students but it is time to move forward in my like.  Thanks for helping make Keeper’s Corner such as success.
