Celebrate Independents Week

| | Comments (0)

Take the Indie Challenge July 1 - 7

"As we honor our national heritage and liberty, we also celebrate our nation's local independent businesses who have provided opportunity and underwritten community life and prosperity.  It is time to consider the independent decision-making ability each of us possesses to choose the future of the place we make our home."

"Use Independents Week to explore your local independent businesses and see how much of your purchasing for that week you can do with them.  You will keep your money circulating in your community three times longer than spending it at national chains would do, where it leaves immediately for somewhere else.  Every dollar you spend at a local independent business helps your community in many ways" (see the May issue of the Takoma Voice).
