KEEP LARRY THE HAT‘S FAMOUS4 IN MILL VALLEY
Donation protected
Hello again,
A Letter to Mill Valley Community Friends and Clients from Famous4 Shop Owner Larry "the Hat" Lautzker
As my story continues to unfold, so many folks have reached out wanting to know how they can help. PLEASE COME SHOPPING we have closed the street in front of my shop for Al DRESSCO shopping. Weather permitting we will have this set-up on the weekends for the next several weeks.
I have been truly blown away by the outpouring of love and support. The much needed cash donations and folks shopping is beyond just that. Mill Valley has been my home and Famous4 place of business for 32 years. I’ve have a blessed life being able to give back to a community that has given me so much. Your (much needed) continued love and support is icing on the cake. My hope, continue to be a part of my community and give back more for many years to come.
Dear Friends and Client Family,
I’ll be blunt: I am in a fight for the very life of my shop and my life in Mill Valley. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis that has ravaged our economy and impacted businesses throughout our community, I haven’t been able to pay all of my rent.
By most standards, I have given my landlords a very fair offer that would allow me to keep my shop open through this incredibly difficult period, but they are asking more than I can afford at this time.
I have been served with an Eviction Notice. I truly need the help of my Mill Valley community and beyond to survive, and I strongly believe that shut down of my store would have a much broader impact on our community than just the loss of what, in my humble opinion, is one of the best clothing shops in Marin.
As the producer of the annual Mill Valley Community Block Party to benefit Kiddo!, as well as one of the organizers of the annual Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade, Tuesday Night Comedy and as many of you know, lots more. I have deeply invested in the vibrancy of this community for decades. I don’t want that to change.
Many of you who have heard about my struggles have asked what you can do.
My answer is simple: “My life in Mill Valley has been a blessing, to be part of this amazing community a gift, but I need your help. It all boils down to money, raising much needed funds is the only answer.”
Please Donate or if possible Come shop at Famous4
I also have PayPal and Venmo accounts set up. You can donate directly to me via either platform at [email redacted] . You can also purchase Famous4 gift certificates that way as well.
I hate to have to ask for your support, as I know that so many of us are going through the worst of times right now. But anything you can do will be beyond greatly appreciated.
I will be staying open while I fight to stay in business. Staying is my best choice right now.
Please share this message with others.
Thanks everyone for giving me the opportunity for the past 32 years to be of service in my community.
