They're two programs that don't seem to have hiccups. |
Three, four years ago, I could buy as many lots as I wanted for $4,000 a lot. Now I have people laughing at me when I offer them $30,000. |
Today was just one of those days where we didn't play very well. All we can do now is start preparing for our tournament next week. |
We didn't win, but it was a major victory today. I feel we're probably headed in the right direction. We talked about finishing fifth and that was our goal, so we feel good. |
We felt that we'd brought this production to the top of its curve. And when you're at the top of the curve, there's a danger that you'll start sliding down. We didn't want to that to happen, so we're taking a year off to create a new Pageant. |
We have eight players who have all played an important role for us. We aren't afraid to use anyone, and when they are in there they contribute. |
We started one year ago, and have had four drives since then. At the first drive we had 33 donations, and at the last one in July we had 99. It's amazing. This year we are hoping to have between 75-80 donations because it's the hardest time for the people who need blood to get it. |
We started out great today but just couldn't maintain our focus all the way through. |
We're proud it was one of our stores and one of our customers who won. We have a higher concentration of stores in other areas of the country. And we're happy it was a regular shopper. |
You get impatient and want to see the results now. But with Audrey and our other young players, I like what I see. |
