Dear Community Crier,

We want to thank your staff, especially Jack Armstrong, for the assistance in running our ads in your paper. We have recently started advertising in your paper, in “Dial-lt Shopping,” the coupon section and once with a small special ad, and the response has been exceptional. We opened our wallpaper store in the L.A. Plaza in Livonia in May and we were advertising in another locally distributed paper that seemed to get some response but nothing like we’ve seen since advertising with The Community Crier. Jack Armstrong has been extremely helpful in setting up our ads and getting us the best exposure for our new store. He worked with us to make sure that our ad showed that we not only carried wallpaper and borders in-stock but that we also have over 600 Special Order Books, and Special Order Window Treatments. We have been quite pleased in the personal attention that Jack has shown us by stopping in once a week to give us several copies of The Crier for our customers and to keep us informed on upcoming specials that we can get more advertising exposure from. When we set up a new ad, Jack will bring in or fax us a copy to be proofed before it runs, an important service that other local papers lack. He is an asset to your staff. Because of people like Jack and the response from the subscribers of The Community Crier, we plan to continue advertising with The Crier.

Sincerely, Gary and Pam Colby Owners

MAGNUSSON A commitment to fam ily, job and community: Chamber’s ‘Leadership Plymouth ’ worth the time EDITOR: What is leadership and how do we encourage people within our community to participate in leadership roles? Leadership is the ability to develop a team that works for a common goal. We are fortunate in Plymouth to have the opportunity to work with new leaders and develop leadership skills in a program called Leadership Plymouth. As a member of the first graduating class, I can attest to the benefits of the information and skill building sessions. I can not guarantee that the program will make a leader out of you, but it will offer a preliminary knowledge'base that will enhance your ability to achieve in business and home life. I learned the most from the other participants. Many were already in leadership roles and contributed in their areas of expertise. Synergy among the participants illustrated that the combined mind power of the group was greater than one mind. Through working together, we were able to solve simulated life-threatening situations more efficiently with the group than on our own. We argued different strategies by seeking first to understand other positions and then deliberating to achieve the best solution.

We wanted to let you and the community know how happy we are with the new home you built for us. Throughout the 10 months w e’ve work together on this project you’ve always been responsive, innovative and concerned about quality and the budget. Your coordination of the various stages of the construction was superb.

The professionals you used are highly-skilled craftsmen who insisted on quality and precision as if they were building their own house. The result is a beautiful home built to exacting standards, and a home we w ill enjoy living in for many years. It would not have been possible without your expertise, knowledge and experience.

Thank you for making our vision a reality.
