Dear Students,
This week we had a bit of a struggle doing business in the cold and wind as students were passing us by to find relief from the cold. Many of our students were also not dressed warmly enough. While we did some business we were 40% off the prior week sales figures. When you are doing business outside the weather matters! Typically the rain and snow will have a major negative effect in most businesses especially nightclubs and restaurants. This week is predicted to be sunny and 70 degrees. Let’s hope so as it is our last day and I’d like to sell everything out!

There will be no homework this week to let you prepare for the final exam. Please e-mail me or bring in your missed homeworks as time is running out.

Final Exam
Due May 12, 2010

Please include references to our text book, live student presentations, buying trips, various speakers and our selling days.
