I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season,\u00a0 and thank you for your support this past year. I have lots of new things coming\u00a0to the site soon, so please stay tuned.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
I just came across a heartwarming story that is fitting in the spirit of the holidays and wanted to pass it on, and let you know about an exceptional company that deserves your support.<\/p>\n
It seems like all we hear about these days are stories about greedy CEOs and CFOs running companies into the ground while collecting big bonuses.\u00a0 I just came across\u00a0an article on CNN about a company with a big heart… Lance<\/a>, the snack food company known for Toastchee and Captain’s Wafers.\u00a0 (I have always loved Captain’s Wafers.)<\/p>\n An Archway cookie bakery in Ohio was recently shuttered and the owners went about it in a very underhanded way, suprising employees by changing the locks.\u00a0 Lance bought the bakery at a bankruptcy auction, rehired 60 of the workers and gave\u00a0each of\u00a0the\u00a0300 laid off workers a $1500 prepaid debit card, with the promise of more hirings if business picks up.\u00a0 The story is quite touching and worth a read… see it\u00a0here: Shuttered bakery reopens, rehires workers<\/a> .\u00a0<\/p>\n If you would like to know Lance know you approve of what they have done, you can call them on their customer comment line.\u00a0 at 1-800-99-LANCE.\u00a0 <\/strong>I have my phone call in and will be looking for their products the next time I am at a snack machine!<\/p>\n
