1 - October has seemed very slow to us, to the point that we have been concerned. I just checked total numbers for the month and it is actually a record month for us! We already broke the record with 3104 customer for the month, and we still have tomorrow to add to that new record. We are currently sitting at $13,766 for the month, and we have tomorrow's sales to add to that total. Our previous records are 3052 customers and $13822 in a month. We have not had any standout, record setting days, and our total sales have seemed low in comparison to the last month or two. Apparently, our sales have been following the slow and steady method of the Tortoise, instead of the speedy jump around method of the Hare...
2 - We are still in conversations with the owners of the drive through coffee shop one block east of us. We are scheduling a walk-through with the Health Department to insure they will allow us to operate on a tank system, as opposed to installing hard plumbing.
3 - Tracy's grandfather died yesterday, just a week or so short of his 90th birthday. We will be heading up to Denver on Saturday for a wake, instead of a birthday party for him, as was planned... Please keep Tracy's family in your prayers. Harold Bowman was his name, and he has done some very wonderful things for our family, as well as for other people. In fact, $30k of our start up capital for Nemo's Coffee was from him, and he set up college trust funds for all three of our kids (as well as their cousins). He was a very caring and generous man and he will be missed.
4 - My photography group that meets here in the studio is up to 111 members! We have been collecting framed artwork from them for the last two weeks or so and we are having a gallery hanging party on Friday. We have some very talented photographers in the group, and I am thrilled to be showing their work during the months of November and December.
5 - My Photoshop group that I started several weeks ago is up to 35 members. It has been very successful so far, and I look forward to this growing and becoming a foundation for Photoshop learning in Colorado Springs. We have members from Denver, Pueblo, Canyon City, Commerce City, etc... It is rare to find a solid Photoshop program and word is getting out about mine.
6 - Tracy is hosting a craft fair on December 7. If you are local and want to be involved, please contact the shop at 719-635-2745. There is no cost to display, and we are not collecting a commission on sales. This event is to support local artists, not to be a profit thing for Nemo's.
Gotta run,
JD
