Dear Editor,
When we opened the doors of our Country Clutter store, at the Gilroy Outlets over 10 years ago, Peggy and I never imagined that we would celebrate and enjoy a night as special for us as last Saturday night’s Annual Chamber of Commerce Awards dinner. Being chosen “Gilroy’s Small Business of the Year” has been the biggest and most cherished honor that we have ever received.
Our thanks go to many for this experience: to our Chamber of Commerce for bestowing this honor upon us and for the articles in the Focus Newsletter; to the Gilroy Dispatch and Shiela Sanchez for promoting our business with such a nicely written article; to the members of the Chamber’s Annual Dinner committee, chairperson, Tim Day and Susan Valenta for creating and scripting such an organized, professional and beautifully decorated extravaganza; to the other 2005 Award winners for setting the bar for community dedication so high and to our associates, families and friends for their love and encouragement.
Most importantly we have to thank so many of you who, despite the many retail choices in Gilroy, keep coming back to shop our store. It is thanks to your support that we are able to be involved within our community. It is because of you and your support that we were at this special evening, being pampered and congratulated.
So, thank you Gilroy, from two sisters who had the evening of their lives. It was fabulous and it was magical and we will be forever grateful!
Sue Thurman and Peggy Ghysels,
owners of Country Clutter
