That's a wonderful idea! We'd be willing to help with the funds.
Could you find out if this is possible?<br>

that long ago.</div>

invest a couple hundred dollars to save a wonderful place that

the hill.</div>

*Subject: **Closing Ludgate's*<br>
<br>
Dear friends,<br>
<br>
As many of you know, after a difficult year struggling
with sales at the<br>
store, we have made the decision to close Ludgate's. It's
with a heavy<br>
heart that we will be shutting down this unique locally
owned independent<br>
business, a store I cared deeply for. Simply put, it
hasn't been in the<br>
black for a number of years now -- and we can no longer
sustain it.<br>
<br>
So I'm writing to ask you for your support in getting the
word out that we<br>
will be open to sell off the remaining inventory, the
store equipment and<br>
holiday trees, etc for the next few weeks. *Store hours
**for this<br>
shutting down period **start Tues, Nov 29: Noon-7pm.*<br>
<br>
We are selling 10 different varieties of cut trees grown
without<br>
fertilizers or pesticides from a tree farmer in Caroline,
giant poinsettias<br>
from a regional nursery (Waterville, near where lived
before we came to<br>
Ithaca) and locally produced wreaths. We even have 5 live
trees (spruces)<br>
that you can transplant after the holidays.<br>
<br>
We also need to sell as much of our remaining inventory as
possible. We<br>
have many dry goods (beans, grains, dried fruit, nuts,
spices, tea, coffee)<br>
remaining. Beautiful stoneware crocks & bowls, Weck
canning jars and<br>
cheesemaking supplies. Also, lots of jars of Scandinavian
pickled<br>
herring! And...chocolate.<br>
<br>
If you can pass the word along to listservs you belong to
or mention it to<br>
people you meet, it would be a great help to us.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Kate<br>
<br>
PS: I will be putting in a final bulk order, if you care
to stock up on<br>
anything. Here's the website form<<a
