A heart warming story

The store opening had lots of extra expenses as you can imagine. During the thick of it 2 weeks ago I got a call from the "Goose Creek Ruggers" in Leesburg VA. They raffled off a rug and raised $235!! The timing could not have been better.

I hope this will be an inspriation to all you rug hookers or anyone for that matter. Buy a rug and raffle it off. Maybe at a party or other event. 

The store is lovely and open for business but we still need things, tables, chairs, and we would like to extend the patio. There will always be expenses and the Las Rancheritas are now taking 5% from every sale and putting this into a savings account for future expenses. So they are doing their part too. But the resources and opportunities in the US and Canada are much greater then in MX. Plus raffles are fun. 

Hats off to the Goose Creek Ruggers. A great name for some generous hookers.
