Happy Halloween!! It's been forever since I last wrote. So much has been happening. Carol went to Fargo at the end of September for a Director's Seminar, Sioux Falls in October for their Fall Festival, and this weekend I'm going to Duluth for the Twin Ports Handbell Festival.
Our displays are improving massively. I'm so happy with the results. The wire racks are very helpful although not easy to stick in the car. I think Norm and I have, for the most part) chosen wisely with gift ideas: Marilee's notecards and postcards consistently sell, the chocolate sells, the mousepads, boomwhackers too. The CDs are selling but only occasionally. Oh. Raleigh Ringer gloves disappear constantly. Yeesh. :)
I've worked hard to beef up our solo area. Now I'm working on duets, trios. Once I get the supplies being consistent, it's easier to just rebuy rather than wonder what's going to sell. I'm also still interested in bringing...ha! ...brain fart!!...oh I know, information for people interested in different sides of music, ie composition, conducting, improving ringing, etc.
Norm's constantly working on the computer tweaking Quickbooks or our catalog (spreadsheet), entering new data, fixing things. Things are going well.
