November… Being GUSHY About Gratitude
By Renee’ Leon
Newsletters will be popping up all month and the lowest hanging content-fruit: GRATITUDE. It’s a popular theme and rightly so! Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley—a leader in research on the science of social and emotional well-being—describes gratitude as the “social glue” key to building and nurturing strong relationships.

This month, I’d like to share MY gratitude for our customers and our Team.
I’m grateful for the support of loyal customers and their many referrals, as well as new customers, willing to give us a chance. We’re about to mark 10 YEARS in operation and I sometimes pinch myself to ensure it is all real.
I also have immense gratitude for our team, because without them, we couldn’t do what we do! Therefore, I simply must gush a little about each:
Edgar, Owner and General Shop Work Horse –the guy with the most experience and keeps things humming. I’m most grateful that he insisted we start this venture!
Jose, Service Advisor – a considerate and attentive listener who at first may seem reserved but then he cracks wise, making everyone laugh!
Pedro, Technician – easy going and kind, he’s always ready to jump to the aid of anyone who needs a hand.
Juan, Technician – our shop’s sugar addict, he is quick to laugh and even quicker to startle (seriously, try not to sneak up on him)! He’s VERY focused when working!
Jose, Technician – until recently was our youngest technician. He was our 2016 intern from Pickens Tech and then we hired him. As Official Shop DJ, he keeps the music varied and fun. It’s been fun to watch him develop as technician and young man.
Christian, Technician – our newest member of the team. While not verbose, he is always on the lookout for what needs to be done next!
Renee’, Owner and Premier Handler of All Things Paperwork – mine is the face you’ll rarely see. I handle business elements that are important but not urgent; you’ll often catch me seeking community engagement opportunities, as that is where my heart lies.
Happy November, Friends! Thanks for trusting our hardworking team!

'The Murder at the Museum' returns following all sold-out shows at the New American Arts Festival last month.
A special tea is being hosted at the museum to unveil the next mascot for the City. Hosted by Edna Mosely, the first African American councilwoman, some important historical figures have also gathered namely Donald Fletcher, Billie Preston and Bill Nakaoka, the first Japanese pharmacist in Aurora. As all eagerly await the entrance of the mysterious mascot, a murder is committed, that of the mascot itself.
Through comedic and interactive discourse in smaller groups, the guests must help Schmernock Moans, a dancing detective, to find out who the killer is and win the coveted prize of 'Detective' of the year. Written by Jeffrey Wolf and Deepali Lindblom, this event is being produced by ROSHNI, an Aurora-based Arts organization, in collaboration with the Aurora History Museum and Historic Sites.
Sundays - 11/6 - 11/27
$10 - $15 Fee includes beverage and cookies.
Repeats every week, on Sunday, ending on 27 November 2022
