From Pocatello to Iwamizawa...

So, I applied and was accepted in the exchange program with Pocatello's Sister City in Japan. Next summer, I'll be spending two weeks in Iwamizawa, Japan! The plane ticket by itself will be over $2,000. I'm going to be doing more chocolates but I'm also going to need your support! Please help me out and get me to Japan! Thanks! :)

Growing Up and Moving On...

Sarah got a part-time job last fall working for Brown's Allstate Insurance Agency. She is working as an office assistant and really loves it! The staff has really made her feel like "part of the family", and her boss has been so good to work with her through her health challenges and allow her a flexible schedule. We are all so grateful that she can have a "real job", and experience what it's like to be a little more independent.

With these changes, she decided she didn't have time or much more interest in the Sweet Treets business, and happily turned it all over to her sister, Rachel. Rachel is thrilled that she doesn't have to share the money anymore, and can work whenever she wants to. She plans to offer treets for special occasions throughout the year.

First Friday Art Walk (in April)

Sarah and Rachel were invited by the owners of Alston Ink in downtown Pocatello to be their featured "artists" at the First Friday Art Walk on April 1st. They were invited by Stephanie and Neal Alston shortly after the article appeared in the paper about Rachel using her chocolate business to earn money for her leadership conference. They spent hours during the last week of March making mints for free samples and a whole bunch of peanut butter filled eggs, bunny suckers and solid chocolate bunnies. They set up a cute display at the front of the store and waited for people to stop and try (and hopefully buy) their chocolates.

They learned very quickly that you have to be pro-active to get people to stop and talk to you. A friendly smile just doesn't cut it. (Rachel was pretty used to it from the Chocolate Extravaganza, but we made Sarah sit on the outside until she invited ten people to try some free chocolate.) They also learned that the purpose of the Art Walk, besides to get recognition and business for local artists, is to give people in the community an opportunity to spend some time downtown and learn about the shops and stores there. Here's where Stephanie graciously stepped in and took over. She was wonderful. She obviously knew what she was doing, and stopped many people to brag about "these two high school students that have their own business of handmade chocolates". It was a great tactic. Most adults were impressed by these young entrepreneurs, and at least tried the mints and congratulated them on their business venture. A few even recognized Rachel from the article in the paper. Many people loved the mints so much they also bought Easter treats. Then, Stephanie would ask them if they've ever been in her shop and invited them in to show them around. It was a great experience and we were so grateful for the generosity and kindness of the people in Pocatello. If you're ever in need of screen printing or embroidery on anything, go see Stephanie and Neal at Alston Ink. They'll take good care of you!
