the S3-per-day boarding fee remain
in effect.

rectly stated the office for which
Pete Barncttc ran in 1992. He ran for

NOTICE
Due to the storm winds Saturday, we lost almost half of our roof.
Most of the damage was in our warehouse and in the back area of
our offices and showroom.
All of the sold and special order goods that were here were
immediately removed and made secure by several teams of staff,
friends and family.
We were also fortunate to save the majority of existing stock,
although we did have some water damage to our showroom and
warehouse.
We owe many thanks to our employees and their families as well as
our many dear friends for their help and support. We have re-opened
and are here to serve our customers.
