At the risk of being too personal, I'm probably going to be too personal.
On Friday August 26 at 1:45pm I, Eric Michael Fialkoff, will be getting married to my best friend. I'm excited to share this news with you (by the way, don't be too troubled that you receive this news by email; my family found out via a cryptic text message).
You will be relieved to know that I have no intention of making some strange connection that compares my upcoming wedding to either retail packaging or to the fine cheeses of the world. However, I do want to share one small anecdote.
My date with destiny has had me thinking about "sticking together." This very idea pops into my mind each and every day as I try my best to do my best for my fellow small business customers. Beyond selling packaging, I try so hard to find purpose in the day to day minutia of my work. I find that purpose in supporting and interacting with real people in their small business endeavors and personal pursuits. I am honored that you stick with us and you can count on us to stick with you.
If you have any happy news to pass along (or, perhaps even not so happy but still important news) I would be honored to hear it. Whatever the news (or even if there is none) I will and do keep you in my prayers.
