Copyright ©2002 by the American COVER Take time to reflect on the past and cherish timeless memories this holiday season. Happy Holidays from everyone at AWl! President's Message Jack Kurdzionak, CW The holiday season is here and as we do our best to enjoy the season we are helping others to enjoy the season. As joyful as the season can be, it can also be a bit stressful for all who are involved with holiday retailing. We can sometimes be stretched to our physical and emotional limits while we do our best to serve our customers at this most busy of shopping seasons. As busy as you may be, please don't forget to take some time for yourself, your family and your friends to celebrate the season with them before it is over and it will be over before you realize it. Holidays are for everyone to enjoy and celebrate. I do understand how busy you will be, but do stop, relax, and take care of yourself while taking care of your business. Also, don't forget those who might be forgotten during this busy time. Is there someone who needs a visit or a phone call? Take a few hours and make the visit or the phone call to someone who needs companionship more than another holiday card. A visit or a phone call is a gift that will be long remembered and cannot be discarded after the holiday. Are there people in your community needing a gift of a food basket or a donation to help them celebrate the holidays? Don't forget them either. The holiday season is for all who wish to celebrate, not just those of us fortunate to have the health and wealth to do so. On behalf of all of us here at AWI, your officers, directors, and staff, we wish you a joyous holiday season and please, share it with all of your family, friends, and community. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW Happy Holidays to all and a successful and Happy New Year too! This month I would like to share what I think is valuable information with the members who don't subscribe to the AWI yahoo group "AWI Matters" . The topic is how to protect yourself against the liability of calling a diamond a diamond and then finding out later that it's not. For the watch service industry this could be one of many luxury watch brands that counterfeiters have had a heyday with for years, and have caused all kinds of headaches for the manufacturers and AWl members who service these products. Following is a message that AWI member Leon Sanger posted on "AWI Matters". Following his post is a sample of what Mr. Sanger did to protect himself against the infamous "it looks like one, but it isn't" problem. With the ever increasing number of harder to identify counterfeit high-grade SANGER WATCH AND JEWELRY, LlC watches in circulation, it is putting an ever increasing liability on the shop owners and 3457-1 South C•m,MII Av.nu• SpriiiQtltld, 111 1 1.<040~ ga~ watchmaker.
