< BACK TO SHOPPING November, 2008 Locally spent dollars get recycled into services We all put immense value on the service clubs and sports teams within our communities because we know that they are one of the strongest bonds that our communities have. It's amazing to walk into a local business and see how they proudly display their community involvement with framed pictures of area sports teams decorating their walls. Have you ever stopped to think about how it is that small and medium sized businesses are able to do that? What about the phrase, 'what goes around, comes around'? Much of it comes from the fact that they are reciprocating back to their community. Statistics indicate that the single largest supporter of public projects is the local business community. From charitable causes to sports teams and community events, local business supports and gives back to our community every time we give them our business. Their community supports them by eating at their establishment, having their vehicle repaired in their shop, purchasing their merchandise or using their service, and they in turn have the ability to reach out and pay it forward by sponsoring a local team, charity or community event.
