Breakaway News Volume No. 13 Issue No. 7 July 2008
/Happy Fourth
We would like to wish all our customers a relaxing and restful Fourth of July. We will be closed on the 4th and back open on Saturday, July 5th.
Stuff to the Beach
We were saddened to learn of George Carlin’s passing but we are also reminded of his routine about “stuff”. Yes, we move stuff. Chances are you will need more stuff than fits into your car to bring to your summer vacation home. Call Breakaway to bring your extra stuff. If it fits into our 26-ft lift gate truck, we can take it.
Invitations by Hand
If you are having a big summer party do not mail your invitations, use Breakaway! Having a messenger hand-deliver your invitations adds an element of style that a stamp just does not offer. We extend discounts on large volume orders (50+ at once), so give us a call today.
Express Payment
Make your life less stressful by enrolling in our Automatic Payment Plan. You will still receive an itemized statement of your charges. However, opening your envelope will be optional, because your bill will be paid by credit card! For more information, contact Maria Ortiz at 646-674-8351
Allez Neil Encore!
Bravo Neil! Since our last newsletter, our rookie sensation, Neil Bezdek has been burning up the local race circuit. He now has won his last five bicycle races. Though a marked man in the peloton, Neil continues to dominate. Starting in July, he moves up to Category 4, where the competition may be a little stiffer. Stay tuned.
July: Tour de France
Although no American is favored to win this year, we are looking forward to our favorite sporting event: The Tour de France. We’re brushing up on our Spanish because Alejandro Valverde is favored to win. Even if you’re not a bike racing fanatic, the beautiful French countryside is broadcast on live TV. Instead of spending thousands on airfare, sit back with a glass of wine and a baguette, enjoy the scenery on Versus TV and see who wins the yellow jersey.
Wonderful Web
Place your next order for Breakaway over the Web! It’s fast, easy, and gets your work done without having to take your mitt off the mouse and place a phone call. Details are on our website, www.breakawaycourier.com
