Hi Everyone,

This past weekend Plan 9 celebrated their 40thAnniversary with their customers and the community of Richmond, VA. The celebration included raffles to raise money for local charities, customer giveaways, sales and more.

Jim Bland is a long-time member of the CIMS Board of Directors, and Plan 9 is one of the early members of the Coalition. I have worked with Jim for many years now, but it would take only a short conversation with him to recognize and his love of music, commitment to our organization and his passion for what he does- bringing the music to the people. I would like to congratulate him and everyone at Plan 9 on reaching this amazing milestone.

I also wanted to share this feature article from the Richmond Magazine to commemorate this occasion. It gives a fantastic history of the store: click here.

Jim, we are so proud to have you and Plan 9 as a member of CIMS. It is stores like yours that provide an anchor for the community, so here is to 40 years and many, many, more.

Remember to support your favorite independent record stores so we have many more of these stories to tell!

Here are the charts,
Andrea
