I want to thank all of you, valued customers, who came to the annual year end sale this last Saturday. It was a great success. Together we were able to put together quite a large collection of baby formula for the Waukesha County Food Pantry. As I told many of you. I have been reading story after story about low income families supplementing other things like apple juice and sugar sodas as a substitute for formula because it is so expensive, not to mention the mothers who are diluting formula to make it last longer. I think the formula we put together will make a difference.
I also wanted to say again thank you to all of you who have supported Urban Abode, for the great year. I am tieing up loose ends at the moment, but I am proud to say even in these difficult economic times Urban Abode came through this year with flying colors. We saw a growth in business of 18% this year. Not bad for a company that has only existed for 4 years.
Please remember when making your purchasing decisions no matter what it is, shop local. When you shop local you support you community as a whole.
I also want to give a special thanks to my mother, my sister and my best friend Brad. This company would not be where it is if it were not for your love, compassion, muscle and support.
