What a year
A year ago Pennywise, like
many other businesses, was
racing towards Christmas
and the pre-planned two
week vacation – our annual
recoup and regroup time.
Little did we know how
much ‘rest’ was ahead for us.
After sliding into 2020 –
the year of clarity – and like
most New Years anticipating
great and joyous opportunities
and adventures ahead,
2020 started gently, kindly
and predictably.
Then COVID hit, as you all
know. Many of us small business
we were smacked upside
the head out of nowhere... and
we ground to a halt. One day
we had customers and clients,
the next day we did not. That
chain reaction saw Pennywise
close down for 8 weeks.
In preparation for reopening
with smaller overhead we
moved from our downtown
location to my basement. In
the summer we were nice and
cool, and we have invested in
down-filled slippers for onsite
staff for the fall and winter season.
We still have 4 employees
working from home.
We are cruising into this
2nd wave of COVID less
naive. We know better how to
protect ourselves and others
from catching the virus with
a few simple precautions...
we eat healthy, stay active,
wear a mask, wash our hands
and keep our distance. Keep
our bubbles small (work and
home) and abstain from large
social gatherings. We will do
whatever we can to help minimize
this very real threat to
society, our economy and the
health care system.
Because of you, our donators/readers,
who chipped
in when cash flow was low -
and advertisers who jumped
back into the paper when we
resurfaced, we are still here
and have laid nobody off! The
provincial and federal incentives
have been helpful for
businesses and for citizens.
I am most thankful for my
staff. We are a lean group,
each person responsible for
a distinctive piece of the puzzle.
They, who have cheerfully
followed me from store front
to basement, from paper to
digital and now through our
next challenge, implementing
a whole new classified intake
and accounting system. They
are an amazing group - propping
each other up as needed,
when the stresses of this new
world are too much.
I am so grateful to each of
my co-workers for the care
and attention they put into
the Pennywise. We are nothing
without our staff, as we
are nothing without our readers
and advertisers.
Wishing you all obvious
blessings in this unusual
Christmas season.
Thank you for your faith
in Pennywise. see you
next year
