ShopLocalsOnly We believe that locally-owned businesses do more to enhance our community and support our local economy than national brands and big-box retailers.

Truly great surfing spots are rare, which is why surfers originated the Locals Only philosophy. They wanted to protect their territory from outsiders and enjoy what made their "turf" special. Hand-painted signs like the one in our logo were intended to keep non-locals from moving in on their territory. And when outsiders tried to take over, the locals showed that they wouldn't go down without a fi

ght. As a community, we must adopt a Shop Locals Only philosophy! Our locally-owned businesses are under attack from outsiders who take away some of unique traits what makes our town special. Brand-name restaurants, big-box retailers, fast food franchises and national chain stores are everywhere you look – and there are more of these "outsiders" opening every day! This is our home, but these retail Goliaths just see our town as a target marget to be exploited. The more money they can draw out of our community to send to their headquarters, the richer they become while our local economy suffers. About $.70 of every dollar spent at a business headquartered out of state leaves our local economy immediately. Small business owners are in a fight for their lives. Too many of our locally owned stores, restaurants and service providers have closed because they weren't able to draw enough local residents to their doors. And our local residents suffer too, paying more and more in taxes because money is siphoned out of our local economy by companies headquartered in other states. It's time for residents and retailers alike to take a "Locals Only" approach to shopping. Brand-name restaurants, big-box retailers, fast food franchises and national chain stores are not what make our town special. The only way to keep our town unique and our local economy healthy is to support locally owned stores, restaurants and services that give us our sense of community. Are you willing to let local retailers keep closing? Do you want more boarded up stores in our town? Or are you ready to fight to protect our turf?

There should be a site called GoFindMe where people who are in need can go to find people willing to help out. Let me start with “Go find me: a kidney”! This is from my dear friends, Chris and Melissa Hess:
==========================
Good morning family and friends,

Please pardon this mass text but it it’s the easiest way to get the word out – Aiden is now registered with Lehigh Valley Health Network (Allentown, PA) for their Living Kidney Donor List! The process is different from that at Temple University Hospital and will hopefully lead to a living donor being found quicker. If you have already gone through the application process for Temple and was dismissed or not contacted, you may now be eligible to donate to Aiden at Lehigh Valley. If you are still willing to consider gifting Aiden with this miracle, please begin the application process with Lehigh Valley. Please visit the website www.lvhn.org/livingdonor (http://www.lvhn.org/livingdonor) and fill out the brief registration questionnaire – When asked “If someone specific, name of the person you would like to donate to” type in Aiden F. Hess – One your registration is submitted, LVH will contact you with further information. Thank you again for considering this amazing act of love and for keeping Aiden in your prayers as we continue to battle the beast – If you would be as so kind, please share this with your family and friends to increase our plea – St. Padre Pio, Pray for us,
My Jesus have mercy!
