Finishing Well........

As I reflect on this last year with just less than a week left, I think about the team that surrounds me here at Longbottom Coffee and Tea. Men and women that are dedicated in serving all of our faithful customers. Doing this job with joy and gladness while making sure that all needs are met before the phones are hung up or a personal visit is concluded. This group of near 90 folks are to be applauded for knowing how to finish well. I can't wait for '07 to begin with the introduction of new Estate coffee along with geographical regionals. This year our attention will be set higher with our sights looking more to a consistent attention to detail. Making sure this attention to detail is served up to the public cup. Also this coming year we will add to our active commitment to the widowed and the poor through organizations like COFFEE KIDS.
Here's to '06 and for a better than great '07. Thank you all for Finishing Well.....
