Our team made a recent trip to speak to students at Abilene Christian University. We were privileged to have one on one interaction with the students and faculty. As a guest at ACU, we were treated like royalty. Additionally, a current ACU student wrote a wonderful article about CRU, which can be found on the ACU homepage or from the link below:

What could be better than the gift of giving? We have been very blessed during this Holiday Season. CRU was privileged to donate $12,000 worth of product to the Sherman Crisis Center. These pieces will be given to many women in the community that have been through abusive situations. The place settings will act as starter kits when the women are ready to leave, which will allow them to set their table as they start their new homes. Pictured below is the administrator Sherral Roberts:
We always enjoy receiving feedback from others! Recently we received an email from a customer, “ShopFave” who purchased our Monaco Gold collection:
“Hello Darbie,
Thanks again for contacting me. It was a pleasure speaking with you. I just received the Monaco Gold place setting as a Christmas gift, and the following comes to mind:
* Breathtakingly gorgeous
* Stunningly beautiful
* Exquisite, classical elegance
I never thought I would have such a reaction to dinnerware. I literally stared and smiled at the setting after opening it. The pictures are beautiful, but it’s even better in person. Thank you for the opportunity to own something so uniquely special! Have a Blessed and Prosperous New Year!”

Twas mere weeks before Christmas and all through the house, not a present had been bought, not even a blouse. In sheer panic I nibbled cookies and eggnog to taste. All of the pre-holiday stress quickly collects on my waist. When I got to the scales there arose such a number! The cookies and pies I can’t say, “No thank you, please.” So I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt And prepared again to look at my list I said to myself, as only I can A jolt of strong coffee is better than being disguised as a man. So – away with the list, away with the cookie crumbs. Get rid of the list It’s CRU’s Coffee Press for everyone!
Holiday Discount!!
Stainless Steel Coffee Press and 4 Matching Mugs in Gift box for $20.
