Dear Friends
. We would like to thank you all for the calls; this is a very trying time for our
family.
.
. As
you may have heard, we were robbed on Wednesday evening, November 4. My son was at home by himself where he was
overpowered by three to five armed men. They had a shotgun in his face, and he was told to cooperate or they would shoot him
and kill us when we got home. They then tied him up and gagged him. My father arrived home first and was taken
in the same manner and tied and gagged. I arrived about 10 minutes later and was confronted by men with shotguns and handguns. Our
lives where all threatened if we did not do exactly what they said. They then forced me to go with them to open the
store and the safe—they took everything. We want you to know that we are all okay. Unfortunately, because we have
been robbed too many times, we are not insured because of the high rate of the premiums.
We have had an overwhelming response
from everyone, asking what they can do. My family is touched and blessed by your response. You may be interested to know that
we are trying to stay in business, and the short-term goal is our first hurdle. For those of you who want to help, I have
designed several pendants from which to choose, at a cost of $150 each: 1) “Thank You Ari Diamond 2009,” 2) “Asian
Flower,” 3) “Hawaiian Hibiscus,” 4) “Holiday Ball,” and 5) "Kanji pendant."
We are hoping to have all orders done
by Christmas. You will also receive $150 credit towards the next piece of jewelry you purchase from Ari’s, so the help
you give us now will come back to you later. I realize this is not the usual item you see from me, but I have decided to do
this to help with the immediate cash-flow problem that we will be experiencing the next few months..We would also like to continue this program every year, including the in-store credit
to you, with all future profits going to a charity. Hopefully we can make this a huge annual event.
