For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

Here or there?
We all make buying decisions everyday...where to buy groceries, clothes, auto parts...even photos. These numbers are really telling.

So many cute dogs!
April was in interesting month here at JMC. There's always something going on around here with families in the studio, customers working in the Photo Cafe and wedding picutures being printed. But we had some special visitors in April. Dogs! Yep, we dedicated Tuesdays and Thursdays to taking pictures of pets to benefit the Humane Society of Central Illinois. The dogs' families got some cute pics, and the HSCI got $250! Thanks to all the dogs that came in and made our month!
Featured in this picture is Sugar. Her mom is in Iraq, so her grandma brought her in to get her picture taken. I'm sure the troops will enjoy seeing her pics. She was such a sweetie!
