![]() Beautiful Baltimore BELIEVE As the end of another year closes (2008) and the beginning of another is upon us (2009), let us not forget that in this time of economic strife and heartache, we must begin focusing on bargain shopping, dining and service searching. The times of endless cash flow and priceless gift shopping can no longer be feasible in this uncertain period of economic espionage. Therefore I have searched aimlessly for organizations and businesses in need of assistance and/or able to better assist you during these times for a 2009 break from Reality! These individuals listed below are the most balanced budgeted Baltimore bantering business folk I could come across. I hope you copy and paste or rather mark this page as a Favorite for your yearly referal guide for shopping, dining, reading and all other needs! Yours in Service, Hassan Giordano (AKA) The Baltimore Independent Political Examiner I Can’t We Can Recovery Time w/Israel Cason Dear Friend: As you read this Holiday message, the world looks very bleak for many. Increasingly people are facing layoffs, foreclosures, government bailouts, homelessness and hunger. Fear of what tomorrow will bring preoccupies many families and it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But there is a light. This has been the most challenging year we've ever endured at I Can't We Can. There were moments when I didn't think we would be able to survive. But seeing someone turn their life away from addiction to hope has kept us going. A total stranger walking in the door with a small amount to contribute or no amount to give, but in need of our services, has reminded me of why we began I Can't We Can more than 12 years ago. As hard as things have become, it is not hard to count our blessings. More than 1,000 people have sought treatment and resources from I Can't We Can this year alone. We've watched our graduates go on to better lives, to college, to reunite with family, to believe in themselves again. Thank goodness we're still here. And the work must continue. I send you this message with a sincere prayer of hope for you and your loved ones to have a joyous Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year. Peace and blessings, Israel Cason Please take time to visit our new website http://icantwecaninc.org/ and donate online! Sprint Services at Towson Towne Center w/Christina Hello, my name is Christina and I'm the store manager, of the Sprint Kiosk, in the Towson Town Center. I have worked at this location for 6 months, but have been in the wireless/ customer service business for 3 years. We sell a variety of sprint, which gives us an upper hand on our competition. Customers would say and have said that they prefer shopping with us, because we take the time, to listen to them. Unlike shopping in a big store, we are able to pay close attention to their needs and provide them with what they really want. Currently, any customer that is eligible for an upgrade on their phone, will also receive an additional $50 discount, towards their purchase, when they add a NEW line of service, to their existing account. The phone number to the store is 410-494-1085. What you want is what you will get, at the Sprint Kiosk. We go above and beyond the call of duty, in regards to our customer's needs. We follow the same hours as the mall, which means, we stay open later than other sprint stores, for the convenience of our most valued resource, you the customer.
