				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every Monday for the next few months we will be giving away a gift certificate for a Moose Plate! When you are in our dealerships you might notice the boxes labeled <a href="http://bit.ly/17VFE0K">Moose Plate Mondays</a>. Enter your name and a way to contact you. You can enter each time you are in the dealership! We will hold onto your entry until the last drawing, which means the sooner you enter your name the more chances you have to win.</p>
<p>Grappone supports the Moose Plate Program because we know how much it has helped our state. Because of the Moose Plate scenic landscapes, historic sites and artifacts, plants and wildlife have been helped and preserved. For residents, supporting the state&#8217;s valuable conservation and cultural heritage is as easy as buying a NH Conservation License Plate (Moose Plate) for your car.</p>
<p>If you have ever been inside our Grappone Toyota dealership you might have noticed the giant moose we have looking down on the showroom. The moose is wearing a THANKS moose plate around his neck just as a reminder of how much he appreciates your help!</p>

<p>This totally made my day because 1. kids are awesome and 2. I&#8217;m not actually very cool but someone thinks I am <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks for putting a smile on my face Jonathan!  I&#8217;m going to chat with Governor Hassan to see if she&#8217;ll waive a couple of regulations so I can start hiring 10-year-olds.</p>
<p>Hooray for kids!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was chatting with one of our new (two weeks ago) team members this morning and going through Grappone family history.  When I told him that the most important part of my job is to create a safe, stable work environment in which my team has all the tools and resources it needs to do its job well, he said this: &#8220;My wife told me that I&#8217;m a different person at the end of the day coming home from Grappone than from my last job.&#8221;  He said he isn&#8217;t used to having an employer that cares about him.</p>
<p>This is really sad to me.  It&#8217;s not any harder to be kind, but for some reason kindness doesn&#8217;t seem to make the cut when it comes to making a list of traits that define how businesses should be run.</p>
<p>Thank you to all the leaders out there who know that there is a better way, and who pursue it in all that they do. Your teams appreciate it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just ran into a man named Peter at the Sandwich Depot (where else??) who was driving a 1930s era Chevy.  Very cool truck!</p>
<p>Anyway, we got to talking and it turns out he used to manage our Honda store many years ago.  He told me a great story about my grandfather once making off with a beat up old Subaru we&#8217;d taken in trade (it was worth $50 and was on its way to the boneyard).  Peter couldn&#8217;t find it for more than a week.  One day he saw it heading down the road with the 1A dealer plate (it was always a particular point of pride for my grandfather that he was issued the first dealer plate by the state of NH!)  When he caught up to John Grappone he said, &#8220;John I&#8217;ve been looking for that car for a week!&#8221;  My grandfather told him &#8211; using a couple of colorful phrases I imagine &#8211; that there was no way we were sending a car with a full tank of gas to the junkyard.  He returned it to Honda when the tank was on E.</p>
<p>What happened to good old fashioned Yankee frugality??</p>
<p>I miss my grandfather <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
