Thank You! Thank you. Those two words mean so much, but sometimes we forget to say them, whether it is in our personal life or business. With email such a big part of our daily routine, those two little words can get lost in the hundreds of messages we receive each day. Think back. When was the last time you received a hand written thank you note? Can you even remember one? I do. I received one about a month ago from Drew DeHaven, the young man who got to go to Washington D.C. to promote his new YEA! business and compete at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Summit. The hand writing wasn’t perfect, but the brief sentiment was real, and I still have the note sitting on my desk. It meant a lot to me that a 14-year old boy took a few minutes out of his day to express his appreciation (even if as a mom, I can hear his mom “suggesting” he write it!). Continued on page 2
