► We were just listed as the number four Marquis dealer in the Northeastern United States, based on hot tubs purchased from them since January 1, 2015. The other dealers on the list are from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Congratulations. We have become a leading dealer this year, after 14 years not being a leading dealer. Great job.
► Save the date: the Wrap Party is scheduled for Saturday, January 2, 2016. Dinner at Country Tavern followed by games, hot tubs, and fun here. Plus, the raffle is back, with at least one prize worth $300.
► Last week chlorine deposits, refunds, and warranty items were all correct! Thank you all.
