I'm leaving Dollar Gener- al to move forward (not quitting, not a quitter!) due to corporate rules making a fi rm schedule or additional hours not an option. My new position has taken those two important points into con- sideration and I have accepted their offer. The team of workers at Dollar General, headed up by their fantastic manager Keith, are just great people to work with. The employee part of me will miss them but the loyal customer that I have always been will continue to enjoy shopping with them. Thank you for making this past year not just a job, but a relationship with this com- munity. Looking forward to seeing many of you as we go out and about on our daily errands. Thank you! Anna Earle, Quartzsite BEAUTY Let's make this a Beautiful little Town that people want to look at, see, shop and eat at our Restaurants. Clean up the Town so it looks like someone cares about the people who live here. LETTERS FROM PAGE 8 A cozy sweet assisted living for the Se- niors to live in and people to work in. How about that, we just created some jobs for the young people in need. A New Sewer System for future business- es. Think of something nice and useful, in place of all the stuff that people stack up and never take away. Visual- ize a nice cozy town that people love and keep clean and are proud of. Ask yourself does this town look rich and cared for, or does it look like poverty took over? What you think is who you are all day long. Visualize your Town looking like it is cared for and you are proud to live here.
