\n<\/a>You gotta love their tagline
\nand they really do make your shopping experience easy.  Staples is a big company with a big heart for their
\ncustomers and supporting their local community.  The staff is
\nalways hospitable and eager to help.  I
\nstopped in a few days ago for report covers and had a nice chat with the General Manager Tad Steffenson and learned they now
\ncarry Erin Condren\u2019s personalized planners, stationary, notecards, and
\norganizers!  Erin\u2019s planner products keep
\ngetting hotter and hotter and Staples is selling her products at lower prices!
\n <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n <\/p>\n

As I talked with Tad about all the
\nwonderful new products they were selling, I got to watch a store
\nassociate make room for a new line of home
\noffice products from Martha Stewart, so you have to stop by and check
\nout these new hot items.  <\/p>\n

Then our conversation turned to
\ncharitable talk and Tad
\nshared about the Staples 2 Million & Change program where all the
\nstores nationwide had the opportunity to apply for a $5,000
\ngrant to be awarded to a local non-profit
\norganization of their choice.  The Rogers store was
\nso excited to receive the $5,000 grant and awarded it to the Sheep Dog
\nImpact Assistance (SDIA).  They
\n were blessed with $5,000 over the holidays and that\u2019s not counting the
\ndonations received from the Christmas Tree Staples put up at the store
\nin support of SDIA!  The
\n story doesn’t end there!  The store associates from all the stores
\nvoted for their favorite non-profit stories and SDIA was one out of the
\ntop five and now there will be a nationwide vote for the #1 non-profit
\nstory and that winner will receive another $5,000 donation.  The Rogers
\nstore is hopeful SDIA will get the most votes.  I’m keeping my fingers
\ncrossed for them!!   <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Who is SDIA?  They are an awesome organization serving
\n the needs of men and women serving in the military, law enforcement,
\nfire & rescue and EMS services.  They are a community of people they
\n call \u201cSheep Dogs.\u201d For more information about SDIA,
\ncheck out their website here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

It
\nwas great getting updated on store products at Staples and hearing the
\nwonderful story about SDIA but it was time to head back to work.  Tad
\nhelped me find the report covers I needed…making my shopping
\nexperience easy!  <\/p>\n

\nsigned up already, Staples
