What We’re Thankful For …

I want to share something with you that I haven’t really shared before. For some reason, Thanksgiving always makes me think about the very early days of Goldstar, and what it was like to get started. It was late 2001, and the world was reeling from the impact of 9/11 and a severe recession. It was the era of the “dot.com” crash.

Goldstar Gives Back This Thanksgiving — and You Can, Too!

Most people see Thanksgiving as a time to spend in the company of people they care about, reflecting on the good things in their lives and, hopefully, a time for a little relaxation.

The record that wasn’t broken, however, was the attendance record, which was actually 4% off the all-time record this year. It’s a good moment to ask the question: Does that matter? Isn’t it dollars, not tickets, that count? Yes, and no. Yes, because it’s true that you take dollars to the bank, not …
