IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT RECENT CHANGES TAKING PLACE AT UNIQUE MOTIF – READ YOUR NEWSLETTER! If you need to get on the newsletter list, stop by the store and sign up. We have some big changes to announce – but you will have to read it later if you are not on the list!!!
Last week, I took sick and was not able to continue the “Best of Times” series. This week is more of the same. But, last week, in the newsletter we reminded our customers of several bright spots in our economy they will NOT hear about on the nightly news:
1) Last week, the stock market made strong, sustained gains; rising over 600 points on the DOW. To be sure, the stock market is always a roller coaster ride. But investors are displaying more confidence in the recovery of our economy and are investing again. Just today, the DOW was up another 90 points.
2) The trade deficit plunged in January to the lowest level in six years.
3) AT&T announced it will add over 3000 jobs this year and they are investing 18 billion dollars to enhance their network structures. They must believe this economy is going to recover.
4) According to the “Philanthropy Journal,” the year 2008 set records for charitable giving. Tracking large contributors, they reported there were 16 contributions of 100 million or more that totaled over 8 billion dollars.
5) Salvation Army reported a record 130 million from bell-ringer contributions this Christmas season.
6) Seven small shops in the Greater Hayden shopping area reported record attendance and sales from their Desperate Housewives event. And, on behalf of all of us, we thank you very much, for helping us and helping the local economy.
In our previous newsletters, we have had good news of the economy the news always leaves out – for the past several months. This week, there is MORE GOOD NEWS:
1) Housing sales for February were UP 5.1%!
2) The stock market is rallying again this week.
3) Layoff news has become almost non-existent, except for news of 100 here, 500 there. And the news is settling for American layoff reports instead of reporting world-wide layoffs and giving the impression they are American jobs.
We know from experience, distant and recent, these bailouts and stimulus packages are going to slow our economy down. However, the ingenuity of the American people has always exceeded that of their leaders. And there is no economy that a little hard work cannot cure. So, let’s all get to work . . .
There is good news all around us! Always remember, God watches the sparrow and He cares about you. Don’t live in fear but be thankful for all God has given us!
