A very big “thank you” to: Dana Dunkin, Julie Whitlatch, Linda Shann, and Debra Nelson for serving you all so well on Sale Day! We had a fantastic day.  The sales were $53.00 over last year’s day sales.  Not a huge jump, but a jump none-the-less.  We really appreciate them stepping up and filling out the management team!
Store Display:  For the time being we will have two display areas.  The main one was just made into a “Summer-red white and blue” and the other one will be changed to a garden area soon after Fathers Day.  Planters, yard art, flowers…
Just a reminder about the display… If you have things you think will go with the theme, let us know, and please do not put your items in until you check with the management.
Fill the Store Special: Still offering this special until June 10th!: We are allowing vendors to rent extra spaces, up to the amount they are currently renting, for half price! This is a six month commitment on the new spaces.  And you cannot shrink your original rented space during that time.  We will evaluate the situation in December. We may extend it at that point. 
Reminders:
• REMEMBER!!! The calendar comes out one month early, PLEASE get signed up as soon as you can.  WE CAN NOT be without coverage in the store!!!
• Anniversary rent credit! 10% off your rent during your anniversary month!
• If you cannot work your time due to weather or illness, please contact us as soon as possible (even at home)!  We will try and reschedule with you
• Upstairs space is for LARGER items.  Please remember to keep your smaller items downstairs as we do not have the security upstairs that we do down!
• Rent is due on the 1st of the month, payable up to the 10th and late with a $10 late fee after that date
• A thirty day written notice is required when you are vacating your booth at the end of the month.  This applies when you are leaving after your initial six months OR at any other time after your 6 month commitment is over
• Don’t forget about the “finder’s fee” bonus when you sponsor a new vendor for the store.  See Bonnie or Scott for more information.

Scott’s Thoughts: FISH ON!!!.  Just ask Linda Shann, Pat Shann or James Bodenhamer for a personal reference about my “fishing guide” service. If you’ve thought about going fishing and need a way to get there just let me know.  As the weather gets better, and I stop subbing at the schools, the trips will become more frequent. PS… be sure to ask Linda how many and how big.  As a “true fisherman”, the numbers get bigger all the time. She says her arm is really sore from reeling them in.

Thanks for making Keeper’s Corner (your store) such a great one.

Great vendors and great customers… what a winning combination.
