To mark the one year anniversary of the flood, Dietsch Brothers had another "Give Back to The
Community Day" on Friday, August 22nd.  10% of all sales from both store locations that day
were given to the Hope House in Downtown Findlay.  This worthy organization, that helps
women and children, suffered devastating losses to their shelter after the flood of 2007.

FEBRUARY 2008
On February 22nd we finally launched our Dietsch Brothers Internet shopping website.  This
project has been in the works for several months but the launch was postponed due to flooding
in the fall and the busy holiday season that followed soon after.  We are thrilled to have an
avenue for current and former Findlay residents to shop at as well as a way to introduce our
fine chocolates to people around the world.

Dietsch Brothers Gives Thanks For Seventy Years In Business
On November 8th we celebrated our 70th anniversary by giving back to the Findlay community.
First, we wanted to thank the American Red Cross for all their flood relief efforts so we
DONATED 10% OF ALL SALES FROM BOTH STORE LOCATIONS ON THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 8TH TO THE LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER.  
We were happy to reach our sales
goal for the day and were able to make a generous donation to the local Red Cross.  Second,
we wanted to thank our loyal customers so we held drawings at both our store locations and
gave away $100 gift baskets and certificates for a year's worth of ice cream along with candy
samples to all customers who came in that day.

AUGUST 2007
On August 21 & 22, 2007 the Findlay area suffered its worst flooding in nearly 100 years.  
While neither of our stores lie in the flood plain, this disaster was so widespread that it caused
major damage at both store locations.  The East Store was impacted less than the Main Store
and was able to re-open about two and half weeks after suffering flash flood damage
throughout the store.  The Main Store had an entire basement full of equipment ....and full of
water.  There also was 13" of flood water throughout the main floor of the building.  Here are a
couple photos of the Main Store flooding:

























We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support we received from people locally and customers
around the country who have ordered candy from us before.  We received countless emails
and calls like this one, from a customer in Michigan:

"Thank you for posting the updated information on your website about the flood.  As
Michiganders who have ordered from you over the years, we have had concern over how you
were affected.  Our prayers that you and yours be given the strength to get you business back
on track soon." ~ P. Hogrebe
