Update on our effort to raise funds for charities assisting veterans with our Minuteman brand. Just wanted to share this with you fine folks. We have a special arrangement with one of the shops that builds our Minuteman watches in Quincy IL. The name of the shop is IL Watch Company. That particular shop also has a retail store front. We are working with the shop to raise funds for their locale soldiers and sailors home in Quincy IL. For each of our watches sold through that store the 25% donation we make to charity goes to that locale charity. In addition the store itself donates 25% of their profit to the same charity. In speaking with the shop owner the other day. I learned that the shop was able to sell one of our prototype watches for $1,000 and a few other special watches for about $600 each. So collectively we were able to raise hundreds for the locale charity. Thats something we just started there at the shop in about the past 30 days so its off to an encouraging start. As our brand grows this could be something we can expand to other locale dealers as we add those along the way.
