First and foremost, thank you to all of you for a wonderful year at all of our Hammertown stores. We've got big plans for the coming year -- lots of wonderful new products as well as more cooking and learning events in our Hammertown Kitchen.
Thanks also for being part of our online community. Over the last few years our website has become not only a place where we tell you about sales and products in our stores but it is also the place many people go for information about what's going on in our community -- local restaurants, upcoming events and entertainment as well as fund-raising for local charities. And, we couldn't be prouder.
This coming year we're continuing our community involvement through new features about the "local heroes among us" (see below) who are doing good things every day and we'll be highlighting new opportunities where you can get involved too. We are indeed all in this together and we can make a difference. If we "only connect" (as E.M. Forster wrote) in this new age of online communication, we will have done a good thing.
