December Newsletter

Thoughts from the Nest

Dear Friends,

At Nite-Hawk we would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season.

What a year! I am sure many of you are happy to let 2009 pass into oblivion and get 2010 going. But before we jump forward, we want to thank you for your business, your support, and your friendships. We will continue to strive to be the best solution for your business. Whether we can help with your equipment needs, or you just need to ask questions and talk over ideas, we hope you always feel welcome at Nite-Hawk.

We feel very blessed to have weathered the economic storm as a strong successful company. Our products continue to improve and we still have the same enthusiasm for the industry as we've had in the past. Even this month we have released another game changer in the new NH200 Osprey. Another bird-of-prey named powerhouse of new innovative sweeper functionality. The Osprey was a fun and innovative project that seems destined for sweeper stardom (see the excitement)! We hope in the future you will take the opportunity to see it in operation.

We will continue to strive to improve and become better in all aspects of our organization as we move forward into 2010. Once again, we are grateful for the opportunity to have tremendous entrepreneurial customers like you and look forward to helping you grow. Please feel free to contact us anytime and once again, Thank You!

Tracy Day and the Nite-Hawk Family.
