Dear Valued Customer,

_______________
NewQuartzsite Show:
Starting Jan 01, we will be in Quartzsite at the Desert Gardens Show. This is our third year exhibiting in Quartzsite, and will be there to serve your needs at the Desert Gardens Show through Jan 28.
_______________

We are very happy to see positive economic indicators ending with our 4th quarter 2011 results. Our Denver shows, along with our Munich show all performed strongly. 2011 performance reached record levels in both Warehouse and Madagascar Minerals website sales. Again, as in 2011, positive results were attributed to our new Madagascar Minerals® Club Membership discount program which started at the 2009 Tucson Gem Show. Clients took advantage of our best discounts offered through yearly accumulated spending. Because the program resets towards the end of the year, our Holiday Season sales drive, focusing on Madagascar Minerals® Club Members was (as been so far...) our best ever!

Since the recovery period will likely be slow, long and difficult process; We still understand that like The Tucson 2010-11 Gem Shows, many clients will still be conservative with their purchasing habits this up and coming Tucson Gem Show 2012. Owing to this situation, during our usual pre-show calling campaign, we have received many orders from clients who will not be attending the show this year. If you have not heard from one of our sales representatives to-date, and find yourself in the same category, please contact us 1-888-888-9057. You might need new material, but may prefer purchasing your product in March or April. We want to work with our customers, understand their personal circumstances, and set goals to a successful and prosperous future - working together.

Our new sales system is catered toward your individual needs. For those who may not be in the position to purchase material, please do not feel any pressure from our sales team, when you receive a call, and allow our team to update your file. Please keep in mind that Norcross-Madagascar is open (and shipping worldwide) every business day year-round. Our web site, www.MadagascarMinerals.com, maintains a dynamic catalog with most of our wholesale products featured, with full discounts published.

This special Tucson Gem Show emailer edition comes to you annually, showcasing more and more products than the previous year. The 2012 Madagascar Minerals Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show will be exhibiting for the sixth year at our upscale Tucson Gallery and Warehouse, part of the new "Oracle Road Gem Corridor". You will find us at 201 W. Lester Street, two short blocks EAST of N. Oracle Road on the southwest corner of W. Lester Street at N. 10th Avenue. (see map below)

We understand unique personal circumstances, and will work together with you as needed to ensure that you achieve appropriate goals for a successful and prosperous future handling our product.

FIVE LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU (INCLUDING QUARTZSITE)

As always, we are showing significantly more variety and quantity of products compared to last year. Another bonus is an enhanced focus on higher-end Gem Surfaces® and Gem Decor® offerings. This show, we will be introducing the Gem Gardens® Garden Decor® rough design line. Our main location boasts four impressive galleries, with the wholesale section, situated in our tent, covering the rear parking lot. Of course we still carry all of our traditional products! If you missed our gallery last year, please be sure to visit us this year! For your convenience, we have three [3] other locations [Tucson Electric Park, Hotel City Center (formerly the InnSuites Hotel), and J.O.G.S. International] to feature our products, and serve as feeder (drop-off and delivery) locations for our main location.

1. DISCOUNT COUPON

This year's discount coupon will apply to purchases less than $500. The intention of the coupon is to attract new clients, and to offer a discount to those who buy a variety of products, yet spend less than $500. Larger wholesalers who have used our discount coupon in the past, will now become members of the Madagascar Minerals Club to enjoy even greater savings.

7. NORCROSS-MADAGASCAR OBITUARY

May 31, 2011.

Michael V. Joseph (Mike)
(Michael V. Joseph)

Dear Clients, Customers, Suppliers and friends:

Michael V. Joseph left us unexpectedly in a fatal car accident on Tuesday afternoon of May 31st.
He was 35 years old and worked at Norcross as a Sales and Operating Manager for the last 7 years.

Michael put his passion into his work, and loved what he did. He was a very hard worker; and he never gave up. He had a great warm smile, and was extremely patient and tolerant of others.
Unlike many of us, Michael wasn’t quick to judge people; and would give people plenty of opportunities to demonstrate themselves - professionally. Michael was big part of our business, and helped build it to what it is today.

From Robert Grant, “I wish I had the opportunity to thank Michael for sharing in my dream and helping me make it a reality. Michael as your employer you will be dearly missed.
Michael as your friend, you will never be forgotten. Thanks big guy.


It is impossible to adequately express our sadness at this most difficult time.
Everyone at Norcross feels that they have lost a good friend as well as a fellow coworker.
