Dear Mr. Cortesi:
Thank you for Sunset Foods. We have been residents of Glencoe for 55 years and Sunset Foods in Highland Park has been our go to grocery for all that time.
We have an issue that we would like to bring to your attention. It concerns the Glow Rewards program. You will find that we have over 4,000 points. Since the ability to use 1,000 points for a $10.00 credit was eliminated, the program doesn’t work for us. A free rotisserie chicken after 10 is probably the only thing that we use. The other offers are usually of no interest. What can be done about this?
Dear Mr. Cortesi,
My name is Joe Wallace and I am. a member of the North Shore Post 29, Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, We are located in Highland Park. We. have recently decided to conduct a poppy drive in Highland Park and I’m writing to seek your permission to sell poppies to Sunset Foods patrons at your Highland Park location on Saturday and Sunday, November 6-7, 2021. We have been conducting Poppy Drives since 2007, and our proceeds directly benefit hospitalized veterans and care packages to our deployed combat troops. Your consideration of and approval is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, I can be contacted at 847-942-0786, or by email at joe_wallace99@ yahoo.com.
Sincerely,
Joe Wallace
