Susan held up the clipboard that was packed with papers. oeMany of these orders require my personal attention. oeIts nothing that we cant take care of. Bev shook her head. oeYou havent had any kind of vacation in ages. This would be a good compro- mise. You can fly to the Gold Buckle Ranch, enjoy their new spa and do a little business. Susan didnt even look at the pamphlet Bev shoved in her hand, and began to pace. oeLook, Bev, I appreciate your concern, but I have a business to run. Ill send one of our salespeople to the Gold Buckle to handle whatever Emily Dixon needs in sportswear for the campers. Ill only charge her half of our cost, or Ill donate whatever she wants. Anything for the kids. oeMrs. Dixon didnt ask for any donations. All she asked for was you, Bev insisted. oeShes heard of the fund-raising youve done for physically challenged children, and wants to see what you can do for her program. That was flattering, but she didnt raise the money for any accolades. She did it in memory of her sister, Elaine. The money went for research, for any special equipment the kids might need, for tutors and books while they were in the hospital, and for fun. All children needed to have fun. She could help a little with the fund-raising, but she didnt have time for more. Susan sighed. Surely whatever the owner of the Gold Buckle Ranch wanted could be done by phone, fax and e-mail. She flipped through the papers on her clipboard and paced. Where was the order for uniforms from that high school marching band? Bev handed Susan another colorful pamphlet. oeYoure exhausted and you know it. You need a change of scenery, Susan. You need torelax.Besides, Emily Dixon seems like the nicest lady. Youd love her. oeHow on earth did she hear about me out in Wyoming? Susan asked, stopping her pacing long enough to lean against her desk. Bev smiled. oeMrs. Dixon also liked the fact that your company is called Winners Wear. And she loved our mottoFor Those Who Try Their Best. She said thats the very philosophy of the Gold Buckle Ranch. They try to reinforce the same goal to each of their campersto do their personal best in spite of their handicap. Isnt that terrific? Susan nodded. Clearly, Emily Dixon got it. Bev slid an unopened brochure across Susans desk and began to unfold it. oeYou should see all the programs they have for children with differ- ent disabilitiesWheelchair Rodeo, the Gold Buckle Gang, Cowboy Quest for emotionaWenger, Christine is the author of 'Cowboy and the Ceo ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780373248469 and ISBN 0373248466.
