Dear Fan Club Members,
It is finally here, Spring. The leaves and flowers are
almost in full bloom, and the lawn mowers are buzzing
away. This is also the time of year when bird’s comeback
from their winter vacation and make music in the air. I
am sure a lot of you have starting your spring cleaning.
Yes, it’s that time of year again when we get to clean
away and make room for more things, or just a simple
cleaning.
My daughter and I were enjoying the nice warm
temperatures again. So we decided to take a nice walk on
our local bike path. During our walk we stopped by the
local park so she could play. As my daughter was
playing, I noticed a large group of people walking in
the woods. So we walked over to the group to see what
was going on. The woman we approached let us know it was
a local group in the community doing spring cleanup in
the local parks. I thought, wow, this is really a great
thing that they are doing. So we decided to become
volunteers and help. I thought at first that my daughter
would only work for about two minutes, but she was
having so much fun with the other kids. After we were
finished we felt like we really accomplished something.
Most of us think spring cleaning is inside of our house,
or outside in our back yard, but really it is places
like our local parks that need cleaning. So if you feel
motivated and have some time off; get a group of friends
together and head down to your local park. You can’t
imagine what a difference it makes and you’re not just
cleaning but spending time with your friends and loved
ones.
Keep Smiling,
Julie Young
Fan Club President

Hello,
A little message from France : I'm a happy new friend of
a Kit-cat-Klock and I want to thank you for all the
informations you put on your website ,'cause at first
time , the clock sadly didn't want to work , and after a
very short look on your site ,I found the information I
need in 5 minutes : JUST GREAT !!!!congratulations !!!
Many thanks ,
Bye, Tiphaine
You printed my story of the Kit Cat and I have a
continuing saga of the blue Kit Cat with the
rhinestones....
A month or so ago, I had to change the batteries in my
dearest gift, my blue rhinestone covered Kit Cat.
As the batteries came out, so did the prongs that keep
the batteries in place.
To the say the least, I was devasated.
"It's only a clock", my 16 year old son said...as I
paced around the house a total wreck.
I cried over this clock like you would not believe.
I e-mailed the customer service and the nicest guy
answered me...David.
David and I became good friends and I am sure in the end
he thought I was a clock freak!
The blue rhinestone clock was discontinued and I
couldn't get another one, but I could have my pick....
I am color blind, blue and black are "good" color for me
to see, but I was upset that my blue clock had to go to
"heaven" and my son thought I needed to be in the loony
bin!
I decided on the black one, just like the one I
remembered from my childhood.
He came, he was broken!
Can I say....upset!
David in customer service couldn't have been nicer.
He e-mailed with me while I was waiting for my
replacement clock and while I was waiting for the
replacement's replacement.
Should anyone ever need customer service, this is the
place.
I now have my new black and white Kit Cat and I must
say, as much I didn't want to change colors, he is
really great and has become what I look at each day.
Thank you for being so kind to me and for letting me
tell Chapter 2 of my Kit Cat experience.

Could not get the tail and eyes to go so I called
customer support. David called and gave me some tips. I
fooled around with different levels and it works
perfectley now. I love it!
Thanks so much,
Dolly
