Community Buy LOCAL Campaign Kicks off on Memorial Day

Coconut Telegraph

Sarasota Architectural Salvage’s (SAS) is kicking off a “Buy Local” campaign with customer appreciation day, free hotdogs, free beer and beverages, and home town pride on Memorial Day from 11am- 2pm at the Downtown Location: 1093 Central Ave., in Sarasota and Free beer at the University Park store, 5265 University Pkwy, next to the Fresh Market. “Buying Local has a huge impact on local area communities and summertime is a challenging time for many businesses.”  Says Jesse White, Owner/Founder of SAS. “So I’m launching a “Buy Local” initiative and asking customers to get involved with our “Buy Local Pledge.” The Buy Local Pledge states: “I pledge to vote with my dollars and purchase as much as I can from local businesses. I will maximize sustainability and community investment. I will minimize environmental impact through my buying.”  Guests sign and date the business card sized pledge and keep it in their wallet as a reminder.  Pledge cards will be available at both SAS stores this summer. Studies show that buying local has a multiplier effect in the community.  The Institute for Local Self Reliance reports that $1 spent in a locally owned business typically returns $0.60 to other businesses in the community, whereas that same dollar spend in a national retailer returns approximately $0.33 to the community.  So buying local returns twice the local economic benefit.

If you have been a patient at Sarasota Memorial, perhaps you can look back to when the care you received exceeded your expectations. Maybe it was kind words from a doctor or nurse, the patience of a technologist who took the time to explain a procedure, or a volunteer, housekeeper or food service
