MIDDLETOWN >> Joe Myers and Sue Tischbern have a working relationship that has come full circle. They met when Sue was an instructor at the cosmetology school Joe attended.
Joe opened J. Myers Salon in Middletown, in November 2012 and now they work together. The salon offers a full range of hair services, waxing and sells handmade jewelry. Sue fashions the jewelry and some pieces include antique and specialty beads.
Both Joe and Sue wanted to find a way to support military personnel and knew of Operation Tango Mike’s 12 year history of shipping care packages.
Thus, they decided to donate $3 of every salon service or purchase on every Wednesday to the local charity.
Joe has a history of military service in his family and Sue knows well the feeling of loss when someone does not return from deployment. She tearfully explained that she and her daughter knew several young men who deployed in the Global War on Terror who were killed in action.
J. Myers Salon is located at 21136 Calistoga Street in Middletown. They can be reached at 809-7020.
Operation Tango Mike holds packing parties to prepare care packages on the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at Umpqua Bank, 805 11th Street in Lakeport.
The organization can be reached at 349-2838 or operationtangomike@mchsi.com.
