Support your Local Sherriff or.....

When you live in a small community, such as we do here in Barnwell, it is important to support those business that reside in the community. While there are not that many here in the village, we do try to do our best to support them in every way and hope that they can return the favor.

Today, we made a goof. We sent our newest guy to purchase stamps for our monthly newsletter mailout. Since we mailout over 1200 by first class mail this is quite a large amount for our local post office. But we goofed - we automatically thought that our new guy would know that we have a local post office in the village and that we support it as much as possible. Well, since he doesn't live in our village he didn't know that we have our own post office so the stamps were purchased elsewhere. Oh well, nothing can be done about it now....

But you can bet that we will continue to purchase our postage products in our own local post office and support our own local businesses as much as we can.

Not supporting local business means that the one time you do require their assistance they may no longer be there.

The moral of our story: support local, although it might not be the cheapest or even the most convenient it will quarantee that when you need a service from your community it will be there.

Until tomorrow.
