Topics You Would Like to Discuss:
I'm open to suggestions for a fresh angle. Last time, we highlighted the brands and didn't go very deep. Since Spring is forthcoming, maybe it's about how our businesses get very busy this time of year as homeowners start surveying their homes for this year's projects. Or, maybe a green angle? 3 out of 4 of our brands have a green story? Or, maybe we go deeper with one brand?
