One Great Thing I Did Last Year (That You Can Do This Year): Help Your Community Celebrate Holidays | May 20, 2015 (0 comments)
Beaumont, TX—In our ongoing series titled “One Great Thing I Did Last Year (That You Can Do This Year)," The Centurion asks retailers to tell us about one outstanding thing they did in 2014 that turned out really well. This week, Brian Alter of Alter’s Gem Jewelry shares his insight.
