Dear Friends,

After 41 years in business in Big Sur and Carmel, Gary and Emma Koeppel are closing the doors of Coast Gallery Carmel as their first step toward retirement. Don't worry though, we are not leaving. We will still continue to serve you at Coast Gallery in Big Sur and Hana, HI, as well as expanding out extremely popular Art Glass Expos.

Our huge retirement celebration sale will begin immediately to liquidate every single piece of artwork in our gallery, which includes all Paintings and Prints, Sculptures, Artglass and much more.

You are the first to know, and we are extending a special invitation to our local clients and wonderful friends like you to come to the gallery on Wednesday, October 7, for a Private Preview Sale one day before we open the sale to the public. We will then extend the private sale from October 8th through October 14th, one week before we publicly announce this sale in the newspaper.

Admission to this Private Preview Sale is By Invitation Only; however, feel free to bring a friend or relative who did not receive an invitation as your guest. You will have the First Opportunity to shop and save on our entire inventory before many items are sold out. Arrive Early for the best selection. Our Private Opening is on Wednesday, October 7th from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM! We may not have finished placing sale tags on all artworks. But, if you have your invitation we will extend a Special Discount to you and your guests on any items in the gallery that have not already been marked down.

As a way of thanking our special friends and loyal clients, we have created a Fantastic Prize Contest as part of this Celebration Sale. To get you started toward winning - simply return this invitation to the gallery on Thursday, October 8th, and you'll receive 1,000 Bonus Prize Dollars just for stopping by! Be sure to visit our contest desk for details and see all the prizes on display.

We decided on this Retirement Celebration Sale only after very careful consideration. It is our way of thanking you for your business and friendship as well as accomplishing our goals. We are looking forward to our retirement with great anticipation. Don't miss the opening of our sale and remember to Bring This Invitation for 1000 Bonus Prize Dollars. And don't forget that our locations in Big Sur and Hana as well as www.coastgalleries.com and our Art Glass Expos will still open.
