ISSUE 05
WHAT’S THE SCOOP? This Spring Market, We are reflecting on a successful season of events. LEE Loves Local events took place across North America, celebrating local businesses and artisans and the unique regional flavor of each location. A highlight was the LEE Loves Local event hosted by Sonoma Country Antiques, featuring a curated selection of local artisans and a panel discussion led by Editor in Chief Ann Maine of Traditional Home. Our hearty thanks go out to the 234 dealers who served as ambassadors and promoted local in their communities. The LEE team visited many stores & showrooms hosting LEE Loves Local events during this year’s week of festivities, including those in Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington,
DC., Seattle, Phoenix, San Francisco and New York. We’d love to come to your city next year, so start planning now, and join us as we continue the local love with us in 2017! What’s next up in 2016? This Spring, Editor Leslie Rascoe of Milieu, and Rozanne Jackson, owner of The Iron Gate will be joining us for our LLL forum on Monday, April 18th at 5:00. This summer, we look forward to participating in the Coastal Living Showhouse in Bridgehampton, New York, which kicks off June 10th and runs through September 5th. Sign up now for LEE
Loves Giving Back, a great opportunity to energize your community and engage local charities. Our annual event gives participating dealers a 5% discount on all LEE orders placed in the month of July, and allows stores to donate at least the 5% to a local charity of their choice. Last year, over $110,000 was given back. Don’t miss the chance to sign up by June 10th and join us in giving back across America and Canada. Thanks for joining us and taking part in the LEE Loves Local initiatives, let’s continue the good work we are doing together.
