HERE IS A DEFINITIVE "AVON MOVIE"!!!

THE ONE-HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY (PG) Comedy/Drama 2 hr 2 min  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews) 
In "The Hundred-Foot Journey," Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant - the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award (R)-winner Helen Mirren), gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own, escalate to all out war between the two establishments - until Hassan's passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory's enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore. At first Mme. Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan's gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (PG13)   Action/ Comedy 2 hrs   (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)

>From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team-the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits-Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand-with the galaxy's fate in the balance. 
Guardians of the Galaxy is just as irreverent as fans of the frequently zany Marvel comic would expect -- as well as funny, thrilling, full of heart, and packed with visual splendor.

Mr. & Mrs. Head Honcho

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
One of the key elements to the Avon's long survival is its wonderful staff...
We are truly blessed to have very little turn-over in our operations team!
It seems once our people come with us, most of them STAY with us for a long time!

And that brings us to our General Manager, Ashley Petty.
This month marks Ashley's 8th year with us!
She has become as engrained with our operations, as me, Sue or Chris Barnett, and I wanted to publicly thank her for her years of service (and hope there are many more to come!).
Plus, August is also her birthday!
So, Happy Birthday and Happy 8th Year Work Anniversary to Ashley Petty!

Ashley Petty--AVON G.M.
8 Years With The Avon!

So, Decatur Celebration 2014 is now a fond memory.
Its time to start thinking about the end of summer, and school starts.

It wasn't a very good Summer, as Summers go, but it was a blah Spring, and an incredibly horrid Winter!
Can we hope for a nice Fall??
And, maybe a Winter that isn't completely insane?
