Dear Valued Customer, Please note that as of July 15, 2008 we will no longer be accepting paper checks in our store. Unfortunately, the percentage of worthless checks written to us has increased to a level forcing us to make a change. After much thought, we decided we did not want to pass worthless check expenses on to you through higher prices. We hope this necessary adjustment will not inconvenience you. We will continue to accept Cash, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express and Debit cards. We appreciate your continued support and patronage. Sincerely, Turtle Island Beads ___________________________________________________
