Dear Friends:

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Although it is semi-officially the end of Summer, we always seem to squeeze in a few more weekends at the beach.

Our display at the biennial International Woodworking Fair (IWF) last month in Atlanta was a hit! Our booth had almost 50% more visitors than two years ago. It appears the industry is back on track for growth; a hopeful sign!

Early next month, on Saturday October 5, the annual Susan G. Komen “More Than Pink®” walk to help cure women’s cancers will be held here in Los Angeles. Many of our employees participate in the 3km walk with great pride. Our goal is to raise $2500 for this worthy cause. To donate, click here. Rita and I will match all gifts.

We've extended our Design Competition deadline to September 23rd, 2024. If you have not submitted don't miss your chance. You can take home a $3,000 prize, royalties based off sales of your design, and an engraved trophy! For more details click here.

National Voter Registration Day is September 17 and I urge all who are not registered to sign up to vote in the 2024 presidential election. Register here. Your vote does count. Next month I’ll go into detail of elections decided by one vote. Trust me, you won’t believe it!

Cordially,
Douglas A.J. Mockett
President
