And may all your wishes come true!
Well they just might if you tell us what you're wishing for! Tell us what you really like at Chic Shak Lifestyle, so when people come and ask us, we can tell them. Create your Chic Shak Wishlist and let us (and the people you want to get these things for you) know. Because we have a pretty close relationship with many of our customers, your friends, spouses and coworkers, ask us for recommendations on what to get you. So make sure we know, so we can give them some hints. J

Change for good!
As we mentioned in an earlier newsletter, we have a collection drive for Action for Children
in Uganda. It only costs US$100 to sponsor a child's school fees for a whole year in rural Uganda. We already sponsor one child, hope that you can assist us with sponsoring more. We have a collection pan at Chic Shak where you donate your loose change to a good cause. We sponsor through Action for Children, www.actionforchildren.org.ug which is an organisation that we know, and have done volunteer work with before.

Web Chic!
We've been 'blogging' like crazy. Visit our main web presence at: http://chicshaklifestyle.blogspot.com/ and follow the links to our wholesale and arts and antiques pages. It'll also give you some ideas on what to tell people to get you. J

Afterhours Chic!
You don't have to break the door down if the store is closed. If you want to shop after hours, you can call and make an appointment at 625-4214 or 741-1875 or send us an email at chicshak@wow.net. We'll have extended Christmas hours soon.
