From our CEO, Bob Fish's blog entry (www.whereisbiggbybob.blogspot.com) on March 14, 2008:
"Return on Involvement...it's a big deal and it always comes back in droves...It reminds me of the early days at the original store....there were 35 coffee shops already in the area...it was a tough first year, but there were a lot of people in the community pulling for us...somebody (who I will not mention) helped us buy outdoor furniture that we couldn't afford....I remember going home that night and collapsing in a chair and adding up all the people that helped us out, up to that moment in time...and tears just started flowing down my cheeks....I vowed at that moment in time, to always give...."
