Congratulations to Jeff!  Keep moving in the right direction!

One of our guys, Jeff, got a job today!  Needless to say, in this economy, it is tough for anyone, especially someone trying to start over, to find work.  He is a waiter and needs a white "tux" shirt size 16 and a black vest.  We have pants for him at the store.  He is schedule to start early next week.

Any waiters out there willing to donate a well-used shirt?  Or does anyone know where we can find him these things... cheap?

PM me if you can help.  Thanks!

I will try to find something. Is a tux (pardon my ignorance on this subject) shirt different than just a dress white shirt? And, God Bless Jeff. Sounds like he is doing the right things.

Thank you so much.  I really don't know about it either.  I think it has special flaps or pleats or something.  I'll try to be more specific and get back to you.

I got him a dress white shirt, but that wasn't what he needed.

Perhaps something like this ?

yes, I think that's it!

An update on Jeff:  we got him the outfit, he wore it to his part-time job, which turned into a full time job today!  He is doing great, still sober, attends his meetings, and sometimes, even,  when no one's looking, he smiles...

[AlexS]

That's great news. Hope he continues doing well.

Good decisions have a tendency to increase random smiles.


Who knew?

[sheclown]

most definitely.

Just thought that it would be nice to bump this up so anyone who might be interested can read the first few pages and see just how "welcomed" people like ZOO and company can make a new business taking a risk and opening on an all but deserted Main Street in Historic SPringfield.

All I have to say is "Charge".............damn the SPAR ingrates!!

Nooooooooo...they're really just 'misinterpreted'. Don't you know about that Bloomingdales that's just about to open up on N. Main any day now?

Springfield residents, this is a great thread to read a bunch of posts by non residents insulting us and making rude and idiotic comments about us and our neighborhood. Strider, I guess only Springfield residents posting on the Springfield forums are expected to be nice and welcoming but it's ok for your buddies and defenders to be asses.

Well I am not sure just how you think I am insulting you or Springfield by commenting on "Louise and Company"? I have said nothing derogetory, I have not been rude and I have not called you or anyone else an animal! What I have done is asked a plain and simple question............for the 4th time - can you explain why the SPAR membership numbers have declined over the past two years? Since you admit to being a SPAR Board member that should be something easily verified. By the way, I like to go to Three Layers, been there several times...........do I need to get permission to do so since I don't live in Springfield?

Probably you should ask SPAR for permission first.

Otherwise, you might be subject to a Louise drive-by. And don't try bringing any foster kids...that's a no-no.
