What is this little button, Vanessa? Why, it is a way for you to eliminate your carbon footprint if you are traveling to the Outdoor Retailer Expo in Salt Lake City...which you are...because we live in the Midwest! Just click on the OR link to the right and it will take you to the homepage where you can calculate your carbon footprint and pay it forward. You can't really click on the link here to get to the calculator though, i am not that Internet savvy. And i stole this graphic from their site...hence the click part:). But the link works!

Now, down to business! It is time to start scheduling appointments for OR! I will be starting the email requests this week, followed by calling in the next few weeks, but if you have a time and would like to schedule now, please do not hesitate to send me your request! We are almost completely wide open at this time, so you could have almost any time you want! And this is not just for OR, if the Madison trade show is more your cup of tea...just send a time for that!

We will also have our Zeal sales manager there to tell you all about this great line we picked up last year. A truly amazing Women's Performance Optics company that opened its offering to Men as well...all with the incredible ZB-13 lens-a nearly transitional polarized lens with incredible versatility! With women's specialty climbing to new heights, isn't it time you had an optics company to keep up?

We also have a new line, Mission Playground, that you all should have received an email blast about this week. There is info posted below with a company history. We would love to schedule you to see this line as well!! Contact Vanessa today-vanessa@goaao.com. Thanks, have a great day-it is almost the weekend!!
