"I wish you the best of luck with this. I always bought the ethnic coupon book for Seattle, while I lived there, and became a patron of places I hadn't considered previously. Although the Island offers a lot less than Seattle, the opportunities are unique, and I'd love to find more, and at a discount, to get me excited to be a long-time patron. Please let me know when your book is available."

"A dollar spent at a locally owned store is usually spent 6 to 15 times before it leaves the community. From $1, you create $5 to $14 in value within that community.'Spend $1 at a national chain store, and 80% leaves town immediately."
