FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT: SAL MANSO – Page 2

Last year at this time is when we started a strong turn around with business after a terrible 1st Quarter in 2018 in fact we were down 17 % from 2017. This year our Q1 was not as weak as last year but only 6 % better than 2018. Now here we are and Spring is here and it appears business is staring to really pick up. Although it is getting busy it is not as robust as last year at least not yet. So lets keep our fingers crossed for a strong start to our season. This business has never been easy but either is climbing a mountain, it is the rough side that’s the easiest to climb as the smooth side doesn’t have anything to hang on to. Remember to be extra kind to each other as we get busier it doesn’t cost you anything and it will take you very far.
