Has anyone seen Mike?
The snow has been hard on everyone but it's been really hard on our Executive Director, Mike Gable!
Like many other businesses as of late, our sales have been less than stellar. We even called an emergency meeting to brainstorm on what we could do to jumpstart things and get out in front of the current snow-laden slump.
We got the brilliant idea that maybe we needed to plow our parking lot and got right on that the very next day. Hey... even we found the huge mounds and winding path through our parking lot's snow maze somewhat intimidating.
Then, next thing you know... we lost Mike! For awhile, we thought he was just hold up in his office taking an executive nap, but after a few hours we started to worry. We started searching, looking far and wide. Lo and behold, off on the horizon, in a mountain of snow, we noticed a little head. We can't imagine how this happened but we're very happy to report he's fine... absolutely fine!
What's the moral of the story? We're not sure... but the parking lot's clear. Shop & Donate Soon!
