Paul's Progress - February 2023
Hi Tricia!
Hellooooo February! January slipped by us like a bandit and we are now sailing into the month of Love ❤️ We not only Valentine's Day and President's Day to look forward to, there are all kinds of crazy "holidays" in February on tap! Like National Bubble Gum Day, Tug of War Day, and Change Your Password Day 🙄 Did you know February 9th is National Pizza Day! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. The month of Love ❤️ is also Chocolate Lover's Month, makes sense! National Bird Feeding Month, we can help with that! National Care about your Indoor Air Month, we can help with that too! AND it's also Spunky Old Broad's Month (I see you Jacque - Paul's Superfan!)

Whatever you have going on this month, Paul's can help with this month's Red Hot Buys. There's deals for everything in and out of the house this month, so be sure to take a look. Ace has also posted a Grilling Catalog to help you learn more about all of the top brands in grilling like Weber, Big Green Egg, Traeger, Blackstone and more! Take a look and consider upgrading to get you ready for The Big Game on the 12th right here in our hometown! (You can practice your new grilling skills on National Pizza Day!!) Take a look, then make your lists and head in to your favorite Paul's Ace Hardware neighborhood store. You're always welcome to shop online at www.acehardware.com for delivery or pick up or give us a call! We're also happy to gather your order and deliver it curbside. Of course we love to see your smiling faces so feel free to head on in to your favorite Paul's Ace Hardware location. :)

We know you have choices for your home improvement and business needs and we appreciate you choose us again and again. ❤️ We love to hear from you so always feel free to drop us a phone call, email or get in touch with us on social! 

Sincerely,
Tricia Dauwalder-Luna & The Paul's Helpful Hardware Family
Round Up to Donate
We accepted Round-Up Donations at our registers at our Fountain Hills location for the Fountain Hills High School Athletic Booster club in order to assist them raise funds to help replace their condemned soccer and football field. Once I think there is a record amount raised, you all surprise me! Look at what our amazing customers helped us raise at just our Fountain Hills location! An incredible $3574.21! Add the amount we raised in our other locataions (that we weren't actively advertising the round up) plus the Paul's 10% match, and we are able to give a grand total of $3950.68 back to our community! We are truly humbled to have the BEST customers on the planet. Thank you! 

In honor of February being National Spay & Neuter Month, this month's Round-Up event is focusing on helping our furry little friends!!In some cases these are neighborhood rescues and others are non-profits that are near and dear to some of our Paul's Family. In all cases, they are wonderful and generous organizations that seem to have an endless stream of dogs and cats needing their help. See which organization YOUR Paul's location is supporting here! As always, Paul's matches 10% of the donations. Remember this is all completely voluntary and you are not relegated to just rounding up your purchase. We will happily accept any donation you could give. Thank you so much ❤️

Time to Feed the Citrus!
Lemon Tree
If you haven't looked at your citrus trees lately, it's getting to be that time. Especially with the beau-ti-ful temps we've had lately! Our tangerine tree is going berserk! This is definitely the time of year you start to get enough citrus from your tree you have made lemonade, orange juice, lemon bars, orange chicken, lemon meringue, lemon chicken AND you've brought in a large box or bag for your co-workers. (That all sounds delicious so if you have extra, you know, send it my way). Citrus isn't one of the 5 C's of Arizona for nothing! Hard to believe it folks, but it is time to fertilize!
There are three times throughout the year you should be feeding your citrus trees and the first time is now. Your fruit trees need food in February/March, May/June and August/September. Here are some instructions for fertilizing and more need to know facts to help you keep them healthy. Also make sure to harvest your fruit before it falls to the ground and attracts rats and other animals! These fruit pickers make it easy to get to all of that tall hanging fruit. Happy picking! and fertilizing!
