Russ i like your new ambassadorship to those new to the board. I'm probably gonna date myself here but remember in communities a few decades ago that a welcome wagon representative would stop by after you moved in with a basket of goodies.....do they still do that anywhere?

Hi Dick, I think it really depends on where you are. When we built our new store in Martinez we got a lot of people coming by to welcome us. Part of it was that we built on an empty lot that had been vacant for 20 years and we put up the nicest building around. I got offers to buy it while I was building. We also had a big welcome and a ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce. Martinez is still has a small town feel.
