SECOA has manufactured and installed stage equipment for the new Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, a $125 million complex with three performance spaces. The design of the new facility included stage systems with many unique features and requirements.

And then we had to get the equipment from the ground up to the 3rd and 9th stories of the new building, where the theatres are located. This was difficult because the equipment for this project was quite large.”

Having acquired their first property, they normally work towards their ideal property whether it is a three bed semi or a penthouse.

Like the phenomenon of communication with spirit for which Cassadaga is famous, Spiritual healing plays a crucial role in the town’s history. “George Colby, the founder of the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp, told followers he was ill with tuberculosis when his Indian spirit guide, Seneca, led him to the 35 acres of wilderness in 1875. A small spring on the homestead provided the elixir that healed him, according to local legend,” Terry O. Roen states in an article in “The Orlando Sentinel” published in April.

Meg Thomas sold her traditional consignment shop in order to relax and move away from being a retail shop owner. Her idea was to continue to sell items for boutiques on consignment via the internet from home and she created http://www.MyOverstockBoutique.com.

As the economy changed the retail environment, Thomas soon realized that My Overstock Boutique was growing too quickly to continue to be a home based business.

The business moved into a 7800 sq ft warehouse with a showroom to make room for the incoming inventory placed on consignment from Boutiques. The Boutiques that do business with My Overstock Boutique ship all of their excess stock, where it is placed in My Overstock Boutique's database. As items sell at a discounted price, the revenue is split 50/50 with the Boutique supplying the inventory. My Overstock Boutique partnered with over 100 boutiques in 2008.
