LOVE STILL SHINES, DESPITE HARD TIMES- HEART GIVEAWAY
(2/9/2009) - February, 2009
LOVE STILL SHINES, DESPITE HARD TIMES
The members of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) have banded together to bring joy on this Valentine's Day to people who are struggling due to the loss of a job, or their home. Gunderson’s Jewelers in Sioux City has joined in with many fellow Master IJO Jeweler retail members, and is offering to provide a sterling silver heart necklace to about 100 deserving individuals - for free.
"We're well aware of the state of the economy," says Brian Gunderson of Gunderson’s Jewelers. "And if there's something we can do to help someone who's going through some tough times to be able to show their love with a Valentine's gift, we're all for it."
Just through word of mouth and discussions within the organization, this program has snowballed and is now taking place all over the country. It began in Ventura, CA, and the number of participants has grown - very quickly.
"I heard about this from our member, Debbie Fox, who started this program in her own store," says IJO President Jeff Roberts," and I thought it would be a wonderful gesture for our members to give back to their communities."
