Forever Memories Frame Factory

The response to the inquiry letters for a city to adopt the Frame Factory has been awesome.  So far we have Memphis, Levelland, Plainview, Cisco and Clarendon, Texas as well as Shawnee, OK all wooing for the chance to have us in their locations.  No firm deals yet but lots and lots of interest.

Frame Factory

Yepper, the Frame Factory and Canvas business is about to get off the ground again.  This time we will not take a cities word "even in writing" like we did before.  They have to have the deal done before we open.  Once we open at least 20,000 square feet we can do it on our own.  Some of the requirements for the city are they have the building that size, maybe an old out of business car dealership, closed grocery store or even an old factory.  The property must be expandable to add at least 100,000 sq ft as time goes on.  If we ever need more space than that I will have so much money it will be left up to others to do.  We can compete with Mexico and in fact did a much better frame and half the price before by automating everything.  Times have changed now and we can automate even more stuff....

Happenings

Busy day today - Got up early and attended the ceremony for the World War I traveling display.  This was and is an awesome sight and since it was a long time ago, a lot of folks don't know much about it.  A breakfast was provided for all Veterans, which was special.  A Lot of Viet Nam vets showed up, some Korean and even a couple WWII vets were there.  Paul and I did a photo shoot for the sponsors to have for whatever they might want to use the photos for.  The driver of the big Semi was a gem to talk with also.  He told us the display relies a lot on donations and here is the kicker.  A couple months ago in WASHINGTON DC the total donations for the display was $78.  YES THE CHEAP politicians or whatever.  Then he went on to explain they went to a ski resort and for the day collected over $5,000.  I am sure they got more in donations here than in DC since Mary and I started things off with almost the DC donations.

Later in the day booked a party for December 15th for a 4-year old birthday party.  Worked on and perfected a way to let customers take their proofs home but 100% can't do anything but look at them.

Anxious to get the picture frame factory up and running again.  Lots of hard work but I am sure that Paul, Salena, Sharon and Steve will be ready to fill in where needed.  This gang of mine is truly awesome and many have the "eye" that I lack, but with my sales and marketing skill they will soon be a legend in their own rights.  Sure glad we aren't processing film anymore they would maybe put us in the poor house, but on the last wedding of about 850 shots there were 795 that were good.  Since several were at the wedding there were duplicates but right now it is the training and they are coming along perfect.  The personalities of the group is near perfect.

Stay tuned for more happenings and such
