The Mini Mall was bigger than ever at the ACB conference and convention in Rochester. Lots of customers and over $21,000 in sales combined to make this another banner year for the Mini Mall.
To all who shopped at the Mini Mall, thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks to the Mini Mall committee and volunteers who gave hours and hours of time to make it all happen; you were awesome! 2019 Mini Mall workers in Rochester included Keri Bishop (WA), Patti and David Cox (KY), Mary Ellen Frost (ME), Samantha Hubbard (KY), Cindy LaBon (MD), DJ McIntyre (GA), Debbie Persons (KY), Adam and Carla Ruschival (KY), Amanda Selm (KY), Nancy Schadegg (MN), Shirley Stivers (KY), and Vicki Vogt (MA). Fran Sine (PA), George Holliday (PA), and Linda Yacks (AR) played major roles on the Mini Mall committee in the planning process throughout the year. Thanks to Michael Smitherman, ACB exhibit coordinator, for his tremendous help and support; to Sharon Lovering for including our Mini Mall announcements in the newspaper; to Janet Dickelman, ACB convention coordinator, for her usual amazing support; and to the ACB Minneapolis office staff for their support throughout the entire year.
