Hello everyone and welcome to our abbreviated December issue of The Emporium Scoop.

We’ll get back to a full issue next month. We are so grateful for all of the holiday orders that

kept us hopping! Thank you so much! We hope to find you well and enjoying all that the

holiday season has to offer.

This time of year is a time when we seem to think more about others than we do throughout

the rest of the year. In that spirit we hope you would consider contributing to our fundraiser

at Feeding America. Every dollar given to Feeding America can help provide 20 meals to

families facing hunger through its national network of food banks. Donating is easy! Just

click on the link below and your donation goes directly to Feeding America. Your kindness

and generosity will have a great impact at a time when your help is needed the most.

In addition, if you are, or someone you know is struggling and not able to get to a food or

clothing pantry or not having any success in getting assistance, please notify us via email of

the situation, name, and contact info. We will do all within our power to find or provide help.

Please send email to [email protected]

In last month’s newsletter, we talked about personal heroes. If there are heroes in your life

and you would consider sharing the story, we’d love to hear from you. Please email us at:

Thank you so much for subscribing, for reading, and for caring!! We look forward to hearing

from you! And whether it’s an order to process, the name of a resource to pass along, or the

opportunity to help you or someone else, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the

privilege.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

In this, one of the holiest times of year, we’d like to express our thanks for having had

another year on this planet to share with all of you. In that spirit, we’d like to offer a song

that was written by Gary that expresses just that. It’s called Woolgrass. Thank you for listening.
