Support Small Business Saturday

American Express launched the first Small Business Saturday on Nov. 27, 2010. It encouraged people across the country to support small local businesses. In 2011, the day was officially recognized by the US Government. On the Saturday following Thanksgiving in 2012, 73.9 Million people shopped at small local businesses.

I'm a firm believer of supporting locally owned and small businesses. 

Please spread the word and support those in your community.

Many local chapters of groups such as Special Olympics, National Honor's Society 

and Girl/Boy Scouts will have gift wrapping booths set up.

Grab a friend or your honey and make a day of it!
